I have also thought about this.. A runtime renderer seems to offer more flexibility than compile time engines like in flex and would be easy for people to extend for thier own needs.

Perhaps some of these concepts could be built into deng 2 as extensions, when flash 8 comes along. Something the css and xhtml route is lacking is layout managers. For me they are the key. box, grid, bag, spring etc. I started on layout mangers and manged to create a spring layout manger by following the concepts in java. This can be used to implement the other layout managers like box and grid. If we could mix blocks of xhtml, attach symbols, and have flexible layout options using diff layout manager tags i would be in heaven. -- luke _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
