The XP Components documentation is mostly autogenerated (from code) with AS2DOC and while it describes the classes' methods and properties fairly well, IT HAS VIRTUALLY NO CODE EXAMPLES! That annoys heck out of me; just *one* simple this-is-how-you-instantiate-XP-Component-from-custom-class example would have made my day (or, two weeks, rather). Instead all examples use their xp.system.Application.Run() mehtod. Perhaps this means that's the only way to use them, but why? They're in Hong Kong, I think.

(was: Re: XP Components gonebad) I just posted a similar question, look for the thread with subject line "Best component set for Flash 8 / MTASC development?" Quickly, tho, I'm feeling the same way: There seems to be a lack of good component sets these days. The XP components look very comprehensive, and have good keyboard control. But they don't seem to be under active development. The lead developer has responded to my initial questions, but seems to be in a far east timezone so responses take full day to get. The documenation is detailed, but there is so much stuff in the XP components that the documenation would have to be massive to cover it all. I haven't spent too much time with them, but haven't been able to get a lot done in the time I've spent. There are a couple of open source projects under development, but are in either alpha or beta state. Ghostwire has poor keyboard control.

Ghostwire: Maybe the best, but done in old-style AS1 mCom: Pretty good, but a couple showstopper bugs, little to no support from developer. poor documentation. XP: see previous message MM v2: bloated, bugs Flex 2: requires flash 9 What am I missing here? Are there any other full component sets I don't know about? -David R --------------------------------- Sneak preview the all-new Yahoo.com. It's not radically different.
