Hi,

It is possible to communicate with the Alfresco repository from Flex.

Have a look here for an overview http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Flex_SDK_Developer_Guide.

Perhaps you could provide some more details about what it is you are trying to achieve.

Thanks,
Roy

To add flex to the existing web client look at the image gallery webscript component added in 2.9
root/projects/web-client/config/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/collaboration/viewgallery.get.html.ftl, viewgallery.get.js, viewgallery.get.desc.xml
(using the flexbook sample from the alfresco flex sdk Roy mentioned.)

Note that the "alfresco flex sdk" does not have any components, only webscript and authentication support
The ace project from the alfresco svn in the module section has examples of doing the following in flex: login, logout, search

Also, full featured flex clients, FlexSpaces+browser and FlexSpaces+AIR, are on the way:
(developed using flex, data web scripts, and the alfresco flex sdk)

Thanks for the immediate response. Im just a beginner and got this project that I have to do.

" The GUI is designed to be a â€˜one-page-applicationâ€™, a Rich Internet Application. This means that all actions can
be performed in one screen, and that the content within the screens can change due to the actions performed
by the user.
The GUI will be programmed in Adobe Flex, running on top of an Alfresco back-end."

hope you guys can help me on this. Thanks!
