Flex Module to Replace Flash Forms

I am curious why no one has posted any articles on the IIS/Apache Flex Modules... Adobe made available on labs a plugin to compile Flex code server-side, just like Flex 1.5 did... with that said, it's probably simpler to write Flex than Flash Forms, and by far more powerful... so why haven't we seen any ColdFusion / Flex Module examples? Performance? I haven't tried it yet (guilty as charged), but I will put together a few examples to prove my theory... yes, they say it's not for production use, or at least they won't support it .. but if it works w/o a bug performance hit, can you imagine the possibilities? Maybe a cf-wrapper, a custom tag that already includes some of the higher level code allowing you to replace your old-slow-pain-in-you-cheeks flash forms? Who's with me?

I can't understand why you wouldn't just write using the standalone Flex SDK / Flex Builder, and deploy the compiled SWF.

Rob: I like your idea - if for nothing else other then to dramatically improve performance on existing flash forms. I'll check it out on labs too - didn't even know it was released. Thanks for the post.

Rob, I like your idea. I don't think it has been certified for production use, if I remember the labs information correctly, as I believe it was meant for development use only so one wouldn't need flex builder, just the SDK.
