Does the ArcGIS API for Flex require Flash Builder Premium ($699) or can the Flash Builder Standard version ($249) be used?  Has anybody successfully used Flash Developer (free)?

Thanks

You can grab a copy as a trial for 60 days, which is very generous!! After that you will want to buy it I reckon!!!

I have just recieved Premium (took ages thanks to Adobe), but I developed our core mapping application in Standard which is hopefully going to replace an old IMS app used by over 500 people soon!!

Thanks T0ny,

Just to confirm, it will work with standard?  What is it about premium that makes it worth spending the extra money?

Absolutely it will work, we have only ordered one copy of premium and the other copies are all standard.

Premium has some extra features like Network/Memory profiling and Unit testing, but you don't need any of that to get an ArcGIS mapping app up and working!
