Adobe do both a free (as in beer) Flex SDK, and an open source (under MPL) Flex SDK. The bits that are missing from from the MPL version look to be the player, and the AIR env. All the compilers and debuggers look to be included. You only have to pay anything if you want the Flex Builder IDE. http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Downloads So the problem with AS3 is open source playback rather than open source development. _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dev
