I haven't used FLEX for a while, in fact we're still using FLEX 3 with the old API. Are the routing services free through ESRI or are they a subscription service?  I can use routing in ArcMAP, but I was wondering if the free service was available (publishable) through a web app developed in FLEX.

One of our divisions is considering an interface showing the route to the nearest office location and if it is possible to utilize the service, we would need to upgrade our ArcGIS API and our FLEX development environment

If you use your own data and have the extension on the server, it is free. If you use ESRI data and their routing service, I know you have to be a member of something, and likely it is a paid service, though not 100% sure about that.

Todd,

I think esri have a sample service you can use but it is only based around San Fransico, if you want to go further afield you need to pay via a subscription, see:

While there are some old sample services, the main service now require ArcGIS Online subcscriptions:

Not necessarily (though it's probably a good idea).  The RouteTask has been around since version 1.2 and
