Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adobe has open-sourced the Text Layout Framework (TLF)
I didn't see that either, but since it's brought up, is there any plan to have table implemented in TLF any time soon ? I thought there's a ready-made solution in buzzword, probably the team consider sharing it ?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Tamarin, Adobe open source the Flash player ?
Mozilla will use this engine by adding browser-DOM classes such as Window, Document, Form, Anchor, etc., which are the domain objects that a browser manipulates,in the same way that Flash uses this engine by addingclasses for its domain objects such as Sprites.Once this is done, webapp developers will be able to use AS3/ES4 as a fast, type-checked, object-oriented _javascript_ if they want to.Gordon, Could you please elaborate on the last line marked in red ? What do you mean by saying using AS3 as a fast _javascript_ means ? an alternative to _javascript_ ?

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2 limitations vs. raw Flash 8 Prof?
Don't forget Flash 9 is in not so far the future, you got the preview version to play with now, and the final might come up early next year, by then, all the code you wrote in AS3 will worth the effort, no more flash-flex communication problem, no more timeline problem. On 10/6/06, Kirk Marple [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi Greg, i really appreciate this detailed reply - this is a huge help to my decision-making process. historically, we've done ASP.NET/C# work, with some Flash MX development (Flash control in HTML). i recently hired a new user experience guy who is very strong in Flash dev, but doesn't yet have experience in Flex or AS3. we've been discussing the pros/cons of Flex/Flash, and that's where the original question to the list originated. we're on a short timeline, but we have a high bar to meet in terms of functionality and look/feel. i totally get the benefits of Flex as a quicker way to get the shell of the application built, but i'm concerned about that last 10% where we'll visually differentiate ourselves from every other Flex app outthere. visually, we're in the ballpark of Vongo ( www.vongo.com)or JumpCut(www.jumpcut.com) video and media management applications. search/browse interface, thumbnails, in-place video previews, etc., but we're looking to raise the bar in terms of cinematic animations - smoothly animated filmstrips, drag/drop of thumbnails into the filmstrip, video clip editing. our back-end is .NET web services that expose a REST interface. i'm OK running on the bleeding-edge a bit with AS3, since we can still target Flash 9 player now. we're at the start of a new product suite, so moving forward i wouldn't want to be stuck with legacy limitations of AS2. i'd rather eat that risk at the start of the product cycle. it sounds like, if we use AS3 for scripted animations, we can integrate that cleanly with the Flex 2/AS3 application shell. myself and my UE guy areplanning to be at MAX this month - so i think that'll be a great way to get face time with Macromedia folks and dive deeper into these questions. thanks, Kirk From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of greg hSent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 10:42 AMTo: flexcoders@yahoogroups.comSubject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2 limitations vs. raw Flash 8 Prof? Kirk,I am going to reply in this one email to your two earlier posts.You started off your first post with we're looking to move our ASP.NET based application suite to Flash. So I assume that your team has no deep competency with either Flex or Flash. Is this correct? For developing RIAs, I suggest you make Flex 2 your default choice with a side investigation of how to use Flash 9 (or for now Flash 8 Pro with the Flash Pro 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview).There are a number of points of comparison between Flex and Flash. When developing RIAs one that is very relevant is the choice between using the prebuilt component framework in Flex 2 vs building your own components in Flash 8 or 9.Also, the whole development process is very different. Will you be having your ASP.NET developers cross training? If so Flex 2 likely will prove to be more familiar and easier for them to come up to speed on quickly. Flash authoring, on the other hand, uses paradigms that likely are unfamiliar to more traditional developers such as is taught in university computer science programs. For a quick sense of how Flash development may look to traditional coders, in this following article see the section under the heading: We Call This 'The Timeline.' No, Wait, Come Back!www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/articles/flash_perspective.html Regarding video-heavy applications I see no inherent advantage of Flash over Flex (or vice versa).One potential disadvantage of Flex 2 is that it is ActionScript 3 only. But this is only a disadvantage if you have existing Flash ActionScript 2 components, because as Robert hinted in his post at run time AS3 and AS2 components are limited in their ability to talk to each other. Aside from that, however, the advantages of AS3 over AS2 are enormous.Regarding the specific issue you stated that we couldn't mix Flex running AS3 with scripted movies with AS2, that is only partly true. As of Flash Player 9 (FP9), there are two Actionscript Virtual Machines (AVM). AS3 pcode runs in FP9's new AVM2, and the pcode from AS2 and earlier run in AVM1. At runtime, code can be running in both AVM1 and AVM2 at the same time, but they can not pass values directly between the AVMs. Though they can pass values through external APIs (in his post Robert mentioned localconnection). So, though you CAN mix Flex running AS3 with scripted movies with AS2, there are limitations. Thus this is one case where shops with legacy AVM1 code may have an incentive to convert their legacy code to AS3. For a great walkthrough of what is new with FP9, AS3 and the AVM2 check out this presentation by Gary

Re: [flexcoders] ASDoc is now available for download
Great, thanks for the info, having a release out there is much better than having nothing out there, I'm already very grateful for it, just made my day :-) On 8/16/06, Brian Deitte [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Tom, I wasn't very happy releasing the code this way either. Releasing code for only two OSs causes my Java side to twitch. But there's some reasons behind this, and I'll try to explain what I can. ASDoc has a long history in at Macromedia/Adobe, as you probably know from the number of times we've released API documentation. I'm the lastest person to pick up it's helm, but there's a long line of people who put a lot more effort than I did into it. We had a joke for awhile that anybody working on the compiler team was required to work on ASDoc at least once. All these changes were made over time not for external consumption but for our internal needs. At some point, we got some executable code mixed in there. I can't really share the specifics of this... but let me say it's a big chunk of code that isn't easily switched to Linux. And there's a lot of it. And it contains code that from other products, where we can't quickly make the decision to release this in the open. So now we're stuck in the current situation. Again, as this was always thought to be for internal use, and since ASDoc usually only runs on a Windows build machine, we only ran into this problem when I started to put together things for an external release. So what's being done about this? As a long term plan, we're hoping (and starting to plan) to move the executable code over to Java. As a short term plan, we want to get this working on Linux for the next full release. -Brian -Original Message- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tom Chiverton Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2006 4:39 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] ASDoc is now available for download On Tuesday 15 August 2006 09:16, Tom Chiverton wrote: Rar !

Re: [flexcoders] request for adobe: stop being so private
Flex 2 framework is almost a total revamping, few things were shared from v1.5, guess they still need time to sharpen it a bit. and just like you, for so many times I have to clone the whole class just to modify some of the variables marked private, and ends up with lot of dupe stuff inside, that's really a major pain while deveoping custom components, hopefully this will be solved someday, may be v2.5 dot release ? Jeremy. On 8/11/06, Pan Troglodytes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Isn't this version 2.0? Or does the component source share almost no code with 1.x versions of Flex? I would have expected a 1.x version to be more raw.BTW, I finally gave up on the extension and just cloned the classes. Unfortunately, now my HDividedBoxExt doesn't display properly in FB. Even though I just copied/renamed DividedBox/VDividedBox/HDividedBox and haven't even tried any extension yet. FB shows the HDividedBoxExt with the children layed out vertically, instead of horizontally. At runtime, it works normally. Unfortunately, it descends from Box, which also assumes this. In the constructor of HDividedBox, it does this: mx_internal::layoutObject.direction = BoxDirection.HORIZONTALApparently, FB never calls this. Not sure why it does it with the builtin HDividedBox. But I've run into this before with my other components. So now I get to choose how much I want this feature (a lot). Enough to deal with it being all screwed up in the design mode? Not sure.On 8/10/06, Michael Schmalle [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey,I totally agree with you. ;-) Most of what you said I have run into myself. What I have done? I created an extended framework from the Container and use composition(this is mainly for major dnd stuff though). I know that doesn't solve your problem with say the divided box, you just want to extend it.Having a lot of experience in writting frameworks that deal with the UI, I would say the problem lies in that this code is still green as spring. I have to go through about 10 refactors before I have fully abstracted methods into tangible and reliable protected methods for subclassing. My post was more in defense of an infant framework that has not had the time to be refactored on a useful level.Talk and talk, they are listening and private methods should be calculation and other things that are already finite refactored out of the protected api. Here again we run into the fact that this framework is right off the press just translated from as2 and added to. I have full faith in meeting the engineers that they are all for creating a subclassable framework that devs can get almost any hook they need without colliding with the essential insides that make this thing tick. Anyway, I am in your shoes, I ran into this with the tab navigator when doing dnd. I almost rewrote the whole thing and then looked at it a gain and got a bitmore tricky with the way I create my classes being composited INTO their algorithm. Peace, MikeOn 8/10/06, Pan Troglodytes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Michael,I understand why things are marked as private versus protected. What I'm suggesting is that enough thought isn't going into it and a LOT of stuff is being marked as private that shouldn't be. This is hobbling component extension. I have dealt with a lot of frameworks and they generally have this problem to an extent. But I have yet to run into it to an extent I have here. And yes, I have reported this to Adobe on the bug/suggestion page. I will continue to do so on a particular case-by-case basis, but this is a more general problem. The thing that has pushed me to the edge was trying to subclass to make a divided box that can have the divider hidden/shown. It wasn't a matter of one property or function being private. Everything there uses BoxDivider as the class that actually draws the little divider. Luckily, the variable dividerClass in DividedBox was one of the few things marked protected. So you can assign your own class to it. The problem is that everywhere else, it is assumed to be a descendent of BoxDivider. Okay, then, just subclass BoxDivider, right? Here's what's public: BoxDivider() (constructor) set x (because it was public in the base class UIComponent) set y (ditto) styleChanged (ditto)Here's what's protected: updateDisplayList() That's it. Everything else is private. Things like vars for what state the divider is in and functions like the mouseOverHandler. I can't even make the mouseover behavior different if I want. And, unfortunately, it registers these private handlers in the constructor. I can't unregister them because I can't pass in the private method name to removeEventListener. And if I don't call super(), I don't get UIComponent's constructor. Divided box is ALMOST as bad. Luckily, they did make dividerClass protected or I'd be starting from scratch.This is why I post instead of once again saying make this variable protected, make that variable

Re: [flexcoders] will Flash (stand-alone) Remoting be upgraded for Flex 2.0? (ie not FDS)
well, don't quite understand what you mean, but I'm referring to that you can use customized NetConnection object to connect existing remoting gateway (AMF0, no matter it's for .net/java/php). You could take a look at Renaun's remoting component, that's the way to go without changing any backend settings.

Re: [flexcoders] Is it possible to do this in Flex? (quick help needed, please!!!)
I did something similar before. I think the main problem (requirement) fromLarry is : The main app grab all components needed and save it in local disk the first time it run, then the application runs with downloaded components from there, which *means* the application should *not* download those components everytime it gets started. My solution is to use Zinc as a launcher, doing the routine check and download newer/modified components, then Zinc launch the real swf application, when the app starts, it assumed everything needed is already available locally. Jeremy. On 8/1/06, JesterXL [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Anything is possible at Zombo.com. Yes, I actually did this in the past and ran into some serious security sandbox issues. Flex can load other Flex apps into it. The Flash Player has the capability to load multiple SWF's into their own security sandbox domains; some are open, others are restricted. If I were to do it again, I'd get something ELSE to get my SWF, like an EXE to open an HTTP connection, download the latest SWF, then load it up, maybe in it's own EXE shell. Apollo, Adobe's endeavor to make occasionally connected applications work offline, would help this. For now, I'd highly suggest NOT using the Loader unless you can confirm your prototype application works fine when it's being loaded into another Flex app. Zinc 2.5 is currently the only 3rd party projector maker I know of capable providing extra help in this area. - Original Message - From: Larry Liang [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 10:00 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Is it possible to do this in Flex?

When the app first starts, it downloads all the sub components/movies needed onto local hard disk and then runs from there. After the first time, every time the app starts, it will automatically check the latest version of the components/movies on the server, and if there is a newer version, it downloads the newer one and replace the old one on local machine.

Re: [flexcoders] Talking Components
Surely it can. You can create a MyEvent class which extends Event then add in as many properties you want (something like data), there's a fine example in the manual about creating custom event. When you need to broadcast event from one component to another, just use: comp.dispatchEvent( MyEvent(someEvent, myDataObject) ); this should do the trick. Jeremy.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: WebORB for .net beta5: feedback
Just a reminder, I checked Aral's ARP framework last week (yes, flex 2 compatible version), there's a pretty well-written RemotingService class which wraps NetConnection (supporting AMF0) and provide exactly the same function of Service/RelayResponder from Flash 8. So one can still use Flash Remoting for .Net (official product from Adobe or open source ones) as the server-side component, then use ARP's Service in the client side to invoke the method, this is pretty easy to setup and just works.

Apparently you need to place all your remote methods in xml config files. Etc. The tutorials from http://www.themidnightcoders.com/articles/datamanagement-part3.htm help a lot, but it's still a huge change, also in the way of thinking. (eg updating data with the sync methods, changeobjects etc). Also you use a lot more databinding, whereas with web services you just fill your datagrid or treeview with the data you receive, and in the case of an update, you will probably use a web service too to update the current row. Here you just omit your changes to your dataService, and he handles all the rest.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: FDS question
If in the end FDS and XML/Web Service are not good enough for you, why not give Flash Remoting a try ? no matter you're using RemoteObject or direct NetConnection manipulation would solve your problem. Jeremy.On 7/12/06, Steven Webster [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm going to step this thread all the way to the beginning again; there was a flawed message in this thread that suggested that FDS was only of interest for real-time data; while it's certainly true that when we're demonstrating the power of FDS, we'll leverage real-time/collaborative examples, let's not forget here that the FDS value proposition is much more than real-time dashboards. Christophe Coenraets articulated very clearly during MAX last year, the concept of a data-oriented versus a service-oriented architecture (I think credit is due to Matt Chotin here too); I think that is the starting point for discussion as to whether you are going to leverage benefit from FDS in your application architecture. RPC services are most appropriate in an SOA environment. You have an existing infrastructure with which you wish to integrate, and that infrastructure presents a set of services that can be invoked from your RIA client. That's where you'd likely make a decision to use RPC services: OnlineBankingService.java +schedulePayment( payment, date ) +openAccount( account ) +requestCurrency( fromAccount, amount, currency ) +generatePrintableStatement( account, fromDate, toDate ) ...etc If however, your service tier starts to look a lot like: PatientRecordService.java +createRecord( patient ) +readRecord() : patient +updateRecord( patient ) +deleteRecord( patient ) AppointmentService.java +createAppointment( appointment ) ...etc Then you're services are really just defining CRUD operations on your data-tier, and it would suggest that you have a data-oriented architecture. You're probably also having to do a great deal of heavy-lifting on the client, to manage relationships, to manage the fact that you have state on the client (your client model) that has to be replicated on the server, and you will need strategies in place to manage synchronisation and conflict resolution between these 2 models. If you then have multiple clients that can all access patients/appointments/etc, then you're also going to start having to think about locking/concurrency policies, and suddenly your services have a great deal of infrastructure work associated with them. And I haven't even started talking about clustering, and failover, and such enterprise requirements for a mission-critical system as you describe. In these scenarios, where you have a data-oriented architecture, but where there is no real-time requirements, no push-requirements, no collaboration (per-se - screen-sharing/etc) requirements, there is still *tremendous* value being offered by an application architecture that leverages data services. Flex Data Services is going to do ALL that heavy-lifting for you. Quickly. With code written by people smarter than me (cheap shot, don't take it). To define the problem that was originally stated: Currently our thinking is to connect to the data through web services sending XML data to a JSO file that then will communicate with a JAVA based API back to the MySQL backend. What, if anythign would FDS bring to the table? Still not sure how it is better than XMLbased solution. When I look at that problem, I see a number of moving parts and infrastructure work that is required - yet you are in the business of building a large-mission critical application for healthcare. FDS is going to remove a great deal of these moving parts, and potentially offer you an elegant architectural solution that allows you to focus on delivering a truly effective user-experience. You can focus on creating a useful, usable and desirable application, and you can focus on delivering a scalable, maintainable and performant application, you can focus on delivering feature and value to the user (and the business) rather than focus on delivering infrastructure. Let FDS manage your CRUD operations for you. Let FDS manage relationships. Let FDS manage synchronisation between your client and server models. Let FDS manage concurrency, and locking and conflict resolution. Let FDS manage how all that jazz works in a clustered app server environment. Let FDS make your integration to your MySQL database a walk in the park. I'd seriously recommend that you (the general you here) spend some time understanding in it's entierity, the value proposition that we're making with Flex Data Services; there is a great deal of misconception that FDS is a solution for real-time, for push, and for collaboration only. Not so. When you are building enterprise n-tier RIA (buzzword bingo - Webster wins) that have a significant reliance upon EIS such as database integration or message-queue integration,

All your classes can extends flash.events.EventDispatcher then they can just fire a this.dispatchEvent(new MyEvent(aaa, bbb, ccc));other classes can use addEventListener(XMLParsed, someHandler) to handle the event. or you can take a look at how Cairngorm use Cairngorm Event dispatcher as a cetralized event center to dispatch event for every class.Jeremy.On 7/11/06, efeminella [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Does anyone have any simple examples of how to dispatch and handle events between 2 classes.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Simple Event Listener Examples between 2 classes
well, you should not dispatch the event right in the constructor, nobody would be able to catch it (it's too fast). moderations as following: package com.test { import flash.display.Sprite; import flash.events.Event; import com.test.EventManager; import mx.controls.Alert; public class TestDispatcherClass extends Sprite { public function TestDispatcherClass() { //dispatch a event every 2 second setInterval(makeNoise, 2000); } private function makeNoise(){ this.dispatchEvent(new Event(action)); } } } package com.test { import com.test.EventManager; import flash.events.EventDispatcher; import flash.events.Event; import mx.controls.Alert; import flash.display.Sprite; public class TestHandler extends Sprite { public function TestHandler() { //create a TestDispatcherClass instance here and add listener to it var dispatcher:TestDispatcherClass = new TestDispatcherClass(); dispatcher.addEventListener(action, actionHandler); } public function actionHandler(event:Event):void { Alert.show(hanlded event: + event.toString()); } } } .mxml: mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml layout=absolute xmlns=* creationComplete=this.initApp(); mx:Script ![CDATA[ import com.test.TestHandler; import com.test.TestDispatcherClass; private var test:TestHandler; //private var dispatcher:TestDispatcherClass; private function initApp():void { this.test = new TestHandler(); //this.dispatcher = new TestDispatcherClass(); } ]] /mx:Script /mx:Application --- please note : this is just one way to do it, there are many other possible ways can be used toward different scenerios, but this one should get you started.

Re: [flexcoders] To implement Master Detail Datagrid in Flex
Item renderers and view state will serve you will on this, check them in the doc, there are plenty samples in it. Ps. But performance may be a risk, if there are too many nested Datagrids. Jeremy. On 6/28/06, Yasovardhan Babu [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, We need to implement the Master Detail grid in Flex.The requirement is as follows: Whenever an item in Master Data Grid is selected, 1)we need to shrink the parent grid to show only the selected item (row) plus a few items(2) above and below the selected item, 2)open a Detail Data grid below the Master grid and show all the child items corresponding to the Master grid item(selected). It's not necessary to change any item in the detail grid. Whenever the parent grid is selected again, the detail grid is made invisible and the parent grid is shown completely.

Re: [flexcoders] Flex2B3 Sample Technique Question
hey, so you are the one visiting today ... :-) Susan and I (and two other engineers) work together on this project, she's the graphic designer doing all front/back end user interface design. The red errorMessage shown on startup is indeed just a toolTip property on new doc button, but I manually dispatch a roll-over event for that button and forced ToolTipManager to show the tip immidately. After the message was shown, I changed the toolTip for new doc button back to normal message (click here to create a new document), so next time when user rollover the button it won't display a red errorMessage again. As to the notion of Self-guided application, yes, I believe it's very do-able, one can even implement a GuideManager to sequence the time and places where tips should be displayed, there are infinite possibilities with Flex 2 :-) Jeremy.

Re: [flexcoders] Getting a DataGrid item renderer instance
There are many possible ways to approach these two problems, depends on what you want to achive. A basic approach is : item renderer usually implement several interfaces, like IListData and a bunch of others, two most important methods are data() and listData(). If you implement these two methods, there will be an automated-chain between the item renderer and the unlerlying data, so whenever the dataprovider changes, new value will be passed into each item renderer. In your case, you might not really need to get the reference of the item renderer by row(index), you just want the image item renderer to do something accordingly ? If so, let both of the columns (item renderer) set data back to the underlying dataprovider then let data() and listData() do the job should be enough. Jeremy.

I've been wrestling with this problem for days now, and I just can't seem to get a grasp on the communication/eventing infrastructure that's probably necessary to pull this off. Please help.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: F2B3: Possible bugs with ComboBox ItemRenderer and ColorPicker
oh, if you are worried about the overhead for *, you can also set the type as Object, or in a more common approach, a value object (VO). if my memory served me right, * will be converted to correct type during run time, don't know how much overhead it would take though.

I couldn't get the color picker focus border to dissapear completely. Nothing that I tried with the FocusManager worked. I'm probably just doing it wrong.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: FDS Samples
Thanks for the detailed tutorial. Btw, I tried to install FDS on JBoss and Resin and it worked pretty well, just have to comment out one block in the configuration file. Maybe the document should mention this so people have another choice over Tomcat ? Jeremy. On 6/19/06, klumikaze [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Couldn't agree with your comments more... I burned about 4 hours the other day trying to get FDS up and running with Tomcat (will have to try your clearer instructions on the JOTM install, as I tried the 2 sources you mentioned and did not get anywhere). In Adobe's defense, I don't think it's just them, the Java community seems to have so many amazing platforms and frameworks, but there's so many that just accomplish the same thing, and in general, there's no simple documentation on installation or usage that makes any sense. Sometimes it seems like it takes 6 frameworks running around the clock to print out 'hello world'. :) All that being said, I'm sure that once Flex 2 goes GA, we'll see much better documentation on all of this. They are probably a little busy right now... Thanks again for the instructions though, I'm sure these will help many who found the JOTM instructions cryptic before.

On the wiki (but nowhere in the downloaded package) it says that FDS on Tomcat requires the JOTM transaction manager. The wiki points to two articles by unrelated third parties that have different instructions for what is required to install. Then there are some additional instructions directly in the wiki that seem to overlap and contradict the instructions in the articles. The bottom line is this is no easy drop a war or jar in and your done kind of installation - or if it is, then the instructions are even worse than I thought. I would suggest that adobe make the effort to tighten up the documentation on this and maybe do some kind of an installer that maybe even makes the necessary adjustments to the tomcat config file. Just because someone programs in java doesnt mean they know all of the ins and outs of servlet container configurations. This, oh we will leave the last few steps as an exercise for the reader is just one of my personal pet peeves. Just because software is targeted at programmers and technical folks doesnt mean its ok to make it hard. Adobe has, in general, done a good job with the client side. But, for lots of people, this will be a bummer. Hank On 6/18/06, hank williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just downloaded flex data services, installed, and tried to run the the sample apps.

Re: [flexcoders] Flash access to a local serial or USB port
Direct communication with USB/Serial is not possible.But Flash - C++/C# wrapper - USB/Serial is very possible.this means : you need to tie into another resource for communications, wrap activeX inside another binary). Jeremy.On 6/18/06, Spencer Nassar [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm interested in presenting users with a web page that contains a flash object that can communicate to a device on a serial or USB connection (think camera or GPS unit). It needs to be able to detect active USB connections and do basic serial communications over USB or a serial port. There will also be devices that use a USB 'mass storage device profile' (look like a hard drive). So is this a practical use of Flash? Can I do it natively, or will I need to tie into another resource for communications (activeX control or some other binary)? The ideal solution would work on Explorer and Firefox, Windows and Mac. Thoughts? Ideas? Thanks!
