using frameworks and using them completely.
We have to agree to disagree on this one." Thinking about it again, I think you're right on one point. There's certainly no reason that using their framework should break native Flash code. That's just sloppy. But, as it is a framework, I think it's totally legit that it makes you do certain things certain ways. "It's not like Rails makes other parts of Ruby break." Case in point - to use Rails, you must do things inn VERY specific ways. Rails is all about convention, and if you don't adhere to its conventions, you will be boned. To sum up, my point is that frameworks shouldn't break anything. But also that people should expect when using a framework that they might have to do things in certain ways. Seems obvious, but wasn't clear in my last post... That's all, Jim Kremens On 6/29/06, John Mark Hawley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
