I think if you were expecting an example you could view with a browser, you might not get what javaflash is all about. Think about it as a java version of screenweaver. Its a way of wrapping the player in java. The email/code shows how its possible to use aflax in javaflash (via rhino js engine). It would have been nice to have a screenshot though. Personally I dont mind any emails giving an update on what people are working on.

Do you disagree that one should describe what they are doing and
provide example links in the email???

Early alpha or beta, or pre operational is irrelevant to whether you
can construct a clear email.
There may be a number of people who are involved in what he is doing
and "get it" without any explanation. Maybe I am not smart enough but
with the info he provided in that email, I am not among them.
I dont see any basis for disagreement unless you are just saying that
there is really plenty of info there and demos and feature
descriptions are unnecessary.

the aflax page is interesting, but his email was about ****
JAVAFLASH***, and all of my questions are about that.

Again... the email is about javaflash.
