I have a client asking me "What are the pros and cons with upgrading from AS2/Flash to AS3/Flex?"

I'd like a generalized approach to mapping from conventionally-named and conventionally-typed database objects, delivered using AMFPHP, to Flex/Actionscript naming conventions and types. I want to map naming conventions; SQL is case-insensitive, so our data model has column names like object_id. Convention, however, is that our flex o...
