Flash is installed on most machines, it can load and parse xml, and has a
wide range of ui components. It would be great if we could create a flash
component to render cforms that could be used from within the flash IDE.
Hey, interesting idea!
I recently investigated a bit the SWF Transformer/Serializer we have in Cocoon to produce dynamically generated Flash, but unfortunately what is provided by Spark isn't really usable as it's mostly composed of <rawdata> tags.
Anyone having a better experience or some ideas on this?
Also a standalone swf file that could be embedded into a html page to display a form for ppl without the IDE. As we all know flash is not open source, but the swf format is. Im not sure if there are licencing issues with regard to distributing swf file(s) that contains the MM ui components. Would need to read the EULA carefuly. Even if it was a problem I have heard there are a group of developers working on open source ui components.
Anyway just an idea. I have a few more regarding cocoon & flash intergration
but they can wait for another day.
Why wait? Ideas are always interesting to share, even more if others can pick them up and implement them.
