Does AcrGIS API for Flex work with ArcGIS Desktop?

[KonradDebski]

Hi,

Sorry for my trivial question - Does this API works with ArcGIS Desktop (ArcView)? or only with ArcGIS Server? If it works also with Desktop, can the applications be prepared also in Flash, or only in Flex?
As I understand well, ActionScript knowledge should be enough to write some app that can be included in our ArcGIS projects?

Thanks
Konrad

The Flex API is meant for writing web applications.  The normal work flow is to create your map in ArcGIS Desktop, publish it with ArcGIS Server, then consuming it using one of the web APIs, such as the Flex API.

A developer would typically work in Flash Builder to create an application based on the Flex API.

Hope this helps.
