Roger, I just want to point out again that LocalConnection doesn't quite cut it, because it means you have to pass some sort of unique connection ID into an FP8 movie in order to distinguish it from other loaded instances of the same movie. The only sanctioned way to do this is via a URL parameter, which defeats browser caching. So we'd wind up performing a separate HTTP request for every loaded instance of the same FP8 movie. That's not going to work. And using a proxy just squeezes the caching problem into a different part of the balloon.
This may sound a bit pedantic, but it's not an arcane use case -- it's a serious problem that will hold us back from launching on Flex 2 until Flash plays catch-up. It's not about falling in love with the limited getter/setter communication into FP8 movies. There's nothing much there to love; it looks to me like a false start at AVM interop that was cut off after it ran into trouble. It's just that a) it does work in its limited way, and b) it provides a way out of the corner that Adobe has painted us into with the Flex/Flash release schedule. If Adobe can commit to keeping it alive in its current form until Flash 9 comes out, that would solve a lot of problems. And it would shut me up. On this topic, anyway :) ... . . . . j Roger Gonzalez wrote: > LocalConnection, probably with a FP8-built proxy if you didn't design > the FP8 movie for it ahead of time. > > There are limitations, but its the only safe approach I know of at the > moment. > > -rg > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *From:* flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] *On Behalf Of *Jason Y.
