hmm...I don't really know if Flash is the best approach for something like this, especially since it has a VERY hard time handling any larger amount of text. Why not writing it in something a bit speedier...Java would be a much more realistic choice. /Scott

I was thinking that everyone would reply anyway. I was indeed replying to Nicolas, but really asking for everyone's opinion. If I hadn't wanted other people's opinions I would have replied directly to Nicolas. Sorry that it was not clear. >I can't believe no one is jumping on this. ASDT guys, where are you?

Having a decent Debugger would save all of us quite a bit of time developing SWF applications. I was just taking the weekend off for a change. I'm sure that's true for a lot of us. ;-) I'm going to work with John Grden to get this working with the AdminTool. As Nicolas pointed out, there will need to be a socket layer that is not done in Flash, so it doesn't necessarily fit with the way the admin tool works now. As the AT currently uses a LocalConnection, perhaps the socket layer can send to Flash using this protocol. We can derive that information from this: http://osflash.org/doku.php?id=localconnection&s=LocalConnection Anyway, these are just preliminary ideas, and any other ideas from anyone are greatly appreciated. -Chris _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
