"that pretty much no one would buy their components if they knew ahead of time about this restriction"
I think that's false. There are lots of people who are interested in using frameworks and using them completely. Making a viable frmaework that will integrate nicely with everyone in the world's swf is pretty much impossible. There are always tradeoffs: adopt the framework, you give some things up, but you get others. Depending on their needs, some people will make that trade, others won't. So I disagree with the point above. But I agree that they should make their strategy clear on their site. Jim Kremens On 6/29/06, Scott Hyndman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
