#1 we're certainly working on and will continue to improve #2 is certainly a weakness right now and something that we've attempted to address with the revamped webservice support that is shipping with LCDS 2.5. At the same time that we ship LCDS a hotfix for the SDK that includes the same web service support will be available. #3 I'm not sure what kind of features you'd be looking for so if you could provide more details it'd be very helpful #4 we can address a little bit with some deep linking functionality that we're thinking about, but you will still need to take care of much of it as a developer. SharedObject is certainly a valid approach as Clint suggested in another post. Thanks for the feedback! Matt Flex PM

I hope it spurs Adobe to improve Flex/Flash. I'm a recent Flex developer but I like what I've been able to do with Flex in the last 4 weeks. Here's where I think Flex (or my understanding of Flex) could improve: 1. A stronger IDE. I've used Visual Studio and it clearly beats Eclipse. 2. Stronger/clearer integration with .NET web services? I'm using them now and it's ok, but figuring it out wasn't nearly as easy as the Flex Data Services. Adobe's only hurting Flex by deprecating the other back-end options in the documentation in favor of their own. 3. I'd really like to see the tools and/or documentation provide stronger support for modular team-based coding. 4. Stronger support for re-hydrating an application so it doesn't lose state when a user surfs to another page in a multi-page site and then returns to the page with the embedded Flex application. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Muller Sent: Monday, April 16, 2007 8:15 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Will Microsoft's new Silverlight Player Kill our beloved Flex ?
