I'm going to take a slightly different point-of-view than the previous posts... I've been dreaming for _years_ of using Flash as the front-end to standalone apps. I've spent time over the years playing with Fox, GTK2, WxWidgets, etc. but I've never felt like they were as 'fun' as ActionScript. I will adapt to any differences between AS3 and haXe syntax. I will write my own framework (I've been developing one in AS2). I develop in Vim so I don't need an Eclipse plugin. I'm a one-man team with no intention of 'passing-on' my projects, so I have no concerns about how wide-spread haXe is in it's adoption. There are a few things that I'd need to switch and none of them are directly related to haXe... 1. I need a _very_ simple and _very_ light platform-independent windowing api that holds one thing: the flash player (I'd have end-users download the flash player and place it in a folder so you wouldn't have to get permission to distribute it). 2. I'd need a simple way to securely (as in: already accepted by the host os, not needing any changes to a firewall, etc.) communicate between Flash and a backend of my choice. That's it. You give me that and I'll switch. -Rich _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
