Hi Peter, I was very pleased to read that you have logged an enhancement request for legacy application support. If, by the time Adobe ships Flex 2, standalone Flex 2 can be made (with a little effort) to work against existing Flash Remoting applications then I think Adobe will have done very well. I realise this may not seem like an important strategic necessity given all the ambitious goals of Flex 2. However, from my perspective the mark of a good platform vendor is that they work hard to provide sensible migration paths that lower the cost of incremental adoption. The more Adobe does to make standalone Flex 2 work on its own the better. I'm sure the new features in FDS will sell themselves and Adobe's customers will be happier if they don't feel they are being forced to switch. By the way, I see an E-mail I sent in response to Dave's earlier post on Thursday arrived in my inbox late Friday. From the mail header, it looks like it spent the better part of a day queued on a Yahoo server. So, if you read my response to Dave on Friday you might be wondering about my ability to take part in a conversation in a rational manner. After all, Dave has already clarified what he was saying, and Matt corrected me that addHeader() was never a public method in Flash. So some of that E-mail was wrong or beside the point by the time it arrived. And who knows when Yahoo will deliver this one?
