I bet he means 'plugins' like some web apps are starting to have.
I think your answer is; You need to create a framework that has a public
interface API. Once this api is set you can load any component/module at
runtime and share within the specified ApplicationDomain.
I am working on something similar for future projects and components of
mine. But, making use of good interfaces is one way to start this without
any destination in mind.
IE
IStyleClient.
I could load a module at runtime and check it with
if (module is IStyleClient)
style = IStyleClient(module).getStyle('blah');
That is the simple point. One other thing you need is a map or start up
expectation of what the app can handle. This means what interfaces the app
is going to use. A little more complicated but, I am sure in the next 2
years this will become like a 'myspace' fad in Flex. Pretty sure and mark my
words on this one. :)
Peace, Mike

You can find more by solving the problem then by 'asking the question'.
