Hi, i dont' want to make every widget as a module, coz that will be too much. wanted to make a group of related widgets as a module. e.g. a DD module has 10-12 widgets and then loans module also has a few and both users are different and can see only their accessable widgets.
i have read the modules part, haven't tried this and will not be able to try as well for the next couple of days as going on leave, but got an idea if possibly you can validate. i can group say DD module widgets in one swf (module swf) and load using module loader in application and do not add module loader as a child in application - but call a method on the loaded module which can give me objects of all the widgets in a map possibly and then depending on user preference i can add them to the application - will that work?
