Salesforce released Flex API for Apex

Posted on | July 18, 2007 |

Salesforce.com and Adobe announced this week the Flex Toolkit for Apex(SalesForce SaaS app) which allows Flex-driven Flash applications to be integrated into Salesforce apps. is a great news for rich Internet application application developers and now their apps can deliver information through an on-demand enterprise platform.

Third-party Flex applications are packaged-up and served from the Salesforce servers and so no additional infrastructure is needed. The toolkit shares the same single sign-on as the a regular Salesforce app which makes the experience more seamless.

Salesforce also released documentation and guidelines for developers.

Hmmm this seems a great combination as recently salesforce tied up with Google Gears and now with flex to leverage the real essence of Web2.0.

his toolkit also supports the current alpha 1 release of Adobe’s Apollo.

    I’m struggling to find anyone who has used the flex toolkit in a production environment outside of the sf.com framework, i.e. treating sf.com as a web service and calling into it like any other. The toolkit and all the messaging from Adobe and Salesforce.com suggests this is supported but I get a very basic io error (#2032) when I try it - even with the sample code. Any idea where I should go for help?
