Using flash/flex for facebook application development

Facebook has taken off a storm on the development front so much so that there are now infact over 170,000 developers for facebook. Thats a big number of developers in such a short space of time and facebook has really done well in dealing with this thrust of development by maintaing a high level of professionalism. I love developing for facebook as it gives me a chance to really test my creativity in the simplist of forms.
Over complexity is not what a facebook user that is using your app wants to have to go through.

In regards to using flash for facebook app development well i would highly recommend it. As with anything any developer knows that immersiveness and richness of content can really be best bought out by using flash in any application,website or software. On facebook flash is used for games, banners, nav menus and so on.

Using Flex comes into key with larger database realted applications that need to use the charting or survey based polling apps that Flex can create with ease. If a app has a lot of information that it wants to display in the rich easy to read format then Flex is definatly a good use. I have so far seen such means combined with web services and php mainly in application on facebook.

Are you a app developer let me know your thoughts?
