Thanks Rich,
I had a chat last week with a sales representative from ScreenTime
Media's mProjector. He told me it would be at least two months for the
Windows AS3 Update of mProjector. Could even be some considerable more
time. The mac AS3 version is out in beta as you said. The official
release would be sooner than the Windows version but ScreenTime couldn't
give an exact date for neiher.
We will be dealing with the OS, reading and writing and most propably
some networking too.
I checked out Zinc. My first thoughts were that it ran rather slow.
Seems to me mProjector is more integrated into the production process.
It will be a long term project. Maybe we'll get back on this. As for
now, if I would have to select an option, I'd choose to sit and wait for
the AS3 mProjector. Although sitting and waiting will be something we
won't be doing here, that's for sure.
Cheers,
Bart

If you are only READING files, you have a bit more options. If you are
writing files, or dealing with the OS extensively in traditional application
ways, you pretty much have to go with a projector enhancer. You can't really
use the browser, and you can't use AIR.
Some may say that their are other options by extending those environments
(server-based saving--to server or locally, Java applets that add
functionality to the browser, etc., but I don't consider them realities for
the average user.
mProjector is AS3-stable on the Mac, but not yet released on Windows, so
that probably isn't a reality for an AS3 project. I've heard good and
terrible things about Zinc, so I can't offer any opinions there. I'm sure
others have used it and may be able to help. Finally, I've never had the
slightest interest in any product that isn't cross-platform, so I can't
speak to any of the Windows-only, or Mac-only (if there are any) options.
Anyone else have any opinions on proj-enhancers?

based. So I 'd better test the mProjector thoroughly beeing in beta for AS3.
I haven't had too much experience on building full scale apps in flash
but this will be an adventurous challenge. Hope to get the squares out
of the wheels soon and start rollin' ;-)) Thx!
