We've been toying with the idea of creating Flash objects dynamically from Cocoon. Not just sending XML to Flash, but actually building Flash movies on the fly. This is complicated by the compressed Flash format used in recent versions of Flash and we haven't yet looked at whether we can get around that (or if we want to). Given that we have a limited number of Flash objects that we need to use I suppose it might be possible to just instantiate multiple instances of them on the fly, based on some XML structure. Don't know how difficult that would be, but if generalized that would give you the Flash version of Cocoon forms... A somewhat related subject turns out to be dynamically resizing the Flash canvas for different browser sizes. This turns out to be a lot harder than one might think, if anyone knows how to do this we could use some pointers. > > >WDYT? > > > >BTW, I was reviewing the CVS of the spark library and the > newest commit > >is 2 years old (the exception is a 21 month license file).
