Hi Jeff, We are talking about Flex, not about the Creative Suite, right?
What about Flex Builder for Linux? Stability of the platform? Performance issues? Debugging tools? Bugs fixed? AIR? Personally I don't understand the value of AIR as soon as can't talk to the hardware. "Walter, what's the point?" Offline application for ebay? Why do you need to do the online shopping offline? This is an oxymoron. PS I am currently profiling an idling application which takes 30-60% of CPU time with no user code executed whatsoever ( according to the Profiler which sucks big time). Please don't tell me that Flex/Flash is perfect and does not need the improvements. The memory & performance issues are the highest priorities for our project. I came from the hardcore C++ land and I know how to make efficient & robust applications. With Flash/Flex - it's a game with no determined approach. Although, I had a look at Flex 4 and I liked i. But still, 300 000 lines app conversion is a separate project. Cheers, Dmitri. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Battershall, Jeff" <jeff.battersh...@...> wrote: > > Mike, > > Adobe "get cracking" - are you kidding me????
