Adobe Flex is a programming language developed to enhance the capability in building Rich Internet Applications (RIA's). This latest Adobe technology possesses all flash features. Flex is embedded with two languages MXML and Action Script respectively. Among all known scripting languages Action Script is one of them that comes along with Flex.

Flex coding is done with an XML based language known as MXML and like Flash applications, Flex codes too are compiled into a file having a SWF format called ShockWave Flash files. These SWF files are executed with stand-alone Adobe Flash Players, and can also be directly executed in browsers that have Adobe Flash Player Plug-in installed.
