Hi Scott,
thanks for your replies.

ActionStep looks great as a framework, but I also think it
might not be the right tool for my current project.
In case you're interested, we're talking about a technical
relaunch of www.jaegermeister.de and www.jagermeister.com,
which means, the graphics won't change (at least not too much,
I hope), but we need to rethink the framework.
As this is a very design-oriented site (with lots of graphical
gimmicks and not really standard-looking components), at least
for this project we need a component set that allows us to use
movieclips or a combination of movieclips and the drawing API
as skins.
That doesn't mean that ActionStep won't be useful for future
projects.

Maybe not for this project, no. But it's still an interesting
framework and I have to try it out and see what I can do with
it :-)

Sounds good - even if it will be a while.

Sounds good, too.
I'll give ActionStep a try anyway and see how far I can get. :-)
Cheers,
