There are 3 platforms that Flex can run in. Flash, Flash Lite, and Air.
Flash is for the browser. Flash Lite is for the phone. and AIR is for the desktop.
Flex can be used to create any of these applications. However, Flash lite doesn’t allow the use of ActionScript which is essential for creating complex apps.
The difference is also the libraries that you have access to. AIR provides additional libraries so that you can talk to the OS and get things like file listings.
