Choose your weapon indeed, my friend! This site also demon-
strates how Flex applications can seamlessly integrate with
HTML pages. Flex does not need to take up the entire page.

One of the most well-known Flash applications is the MINI car
Configurator (http://miniusa.com/?#/build/configurator/

do, don’t be taken aback by the complexity of the interface.
