Understood, but the idea was to apply C2 to a simple app just to test out the new framework, which I then decided to share with others since it is so simple. Also, I find that the framework inherently creates a modular, component-based architecture, which facilitates the development and integration of additional functionality I have planned. Easy to plug and play new components. And while some may argue that the number of objects you end up developing to enable the framework is extraneous, I like to have smaller, more manageable classes -- I find it flexible and easy to locate specific functionality in the future. But alas, it was never meant to be earth-shattering, just a simple means to an end. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
