Hi Douglass,

All of the Flex doc is available on the Macromedia web site in an HTML
format, not in a Flash template, though we do use frames. The manuals
are all searchable and are indexed. You can see them here:

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/

The API reference is also delivered as HTML, and is searchable. You can
see it here:

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/asdocs_en/

In addition, since we deliver the documentation using LiveDocs,
customers can comment on individual pages of the documentation. This
lets customers provide feedback and point out errors. Additionally, we
can push comments out to customers using LiveDocs.

Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Docs really need to be up on
safari.oreilly.com



If there are any Macromedia people out there or others who can influence
decision makers at Macromedia you *really* need to get your
documentation up on safari.oreilly.com.

Having all docs entirely indexed and searchable is a huge win and will
greatly improve our productivity and will increase adoption of this
technology.

The current setup is extremely awkward and difficult to use. I have
spent hours wading through the current setup (bizzarly using frames!)
that is encased in some odd Flash template that makes proper bookmarking
an exercise in futility. I am convinced Macromedia is turning away
potential users of Flex not because of the technology (which is world
class) but because of the dilapidated state of the documentation.


Not a rant,
Douglass Turner
