Re: [flexcoders] Flexlet's and Yahoo Widgets

Actually, I think Konfabulator only supported XML and _javascript_. No HTML and no Flash, as far as I know. All your layout tags were in the xml doc.ScottOn 3/2/06,

How do they differ from Kapsules?

Basically, Kapsules used:
- .NET compatible script (I used 
_javascript_)
- images
- XML file for config info
 
If Konfabulator supports the AJAX approach, I 
assume that means they support HTML & _javascript_?  If so, what's to 
prevent you from embedding ActiveX controls?

All those widgets are basically a package of graphics and 
_javascript_ utilizing an Ajax approach. But they have access to all kinds of 
local resources like your memory, outlook, etc... JesterXL

  I've never messed with Konfabulator or whatever 
  Yahoo calls it now.  What does it support currently?

  I know it's been mentioned before, most notably on Jesse's 
  blog, about ultimately your desktop being the dashboard when it comes to Flex 
  applications. Being able to move beyond the limitations of an instance of a 
  browser. I've always loved the the concept of the MAC Dashboard that 
  had these widgets that run on your desktop. So recently I decided to try the 
  Yahoo Widgets - this is awesome stuff, and I think pretty much what I 
  ultimately hope to be able to do with Apollo and Flex. Though to take the idea 
  further the widgets would be aware of each other and will be able leverage 
  that through increased UI context.But I was thinking in the meantime, 
  since Yahoo and Macromedia/Adobe have a relationship - couldn't the widget 
  engine be enhanced to incorporate the flash player so that you can have 
  flash/flex based widgets (Flexlets?).
