This. For the last month I've been working on a big enterprise Flash flex application that talks to a PHP backend.

It seems that flex mxml is a good idea, but once apple decided to kill flash, the developer community jumped ship. Thankfully adobe gave flex to apache, and a small community lives on.

The interesting opportunity seems to be that there remain quite a few good consulting opportunities for flex devs.

The employers are getting a little anxious about finding devs and many are willing to work with you no matter your time zone :)
