What is the difference between Flash compiler and Flex compiler?

Hi,

Right now I see Flex compiler as a Flash compiler but with a Mxml to
Actionscript converting tool, when compile with Flex compiler, it will
convert mxml files into Actionscript file, and then call Flash compiler to
compile the generated actionscript files into files can be execute on Flash
Platform.


Could someone help me understand the difference between Flash compiler and
Flex compiler better please?


Thanks.

-Gary
