I know people who know what they're talking about. ;) I've been fortunate enough to work on a project with some amazing developers and experience the difficulty it is to get Flash to communicate with other applications.

I want to make sure it's a fair and unbias (as much as possible) representation of the developer community before I send it off. Thanks again!
