Hello Nicolas, thanks once again.
Those are good news. I'll definitely try Haxe when there is a solution for this: >Yes mod_neko is needed for haXe/Server. >We are planning something for people that don't have a web server but nothing ready yet. (or if, in the meanwhile, I win the lottery, and have the possibility to acquire my own server :D) I wish a prosperous future to haXe. We all wish, for the sake of our mental sanity :) João Saleiro -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nicolas Cannasse Sent: segunda-feira, 5 de Junho de 2006 9:14 To: Open Source Flash Mailing List Subject: Re: [osflash] Questions about haxe (following Important questions for future robust web-applications development) > Nicolas, i'm almost convinced! :o) Hehe ;) One more ! > Just a few quick questions: > > > 1-Everything in AS2 is doable with Haxe?

You can either compile them in AS2 and include them in your SWF Library (see "using AS2 from haXe" : http://haxe.org/tutos/haxe_as2) or port them from AS2 to haXe. > 5-If you want an "Haxe application" running on a general web hosting > (like, for example, www.icdsoft.com), is there anything they must have > (mod_neko installed, for example)?

Yes mod_neko is needed for haXe/Server. We are planning something for people that don't have a web server but nothing ready yet. > 6-And If I want it running on IIS for development (sometimes I have to > use .NET, so I prefer IIS over apache on Windows because there's no > need on having two http servers for development)...? mod_neko is already ported? Mod_neko is not available for IIS. If you have some C knowledge you can do the port (not big : 3 files , 18 K). It's usable for Apache 1.3 and a patch is available for Apache 2.0 > 7-What are the weak points of Haxe? (tricky question) - No IIS for mod_neko :) - No IDE yet (but FlashDevelop support haXe) - No UI components yet (but you can use ASWing/ActionStep AS2 versions from haXe, and I think there are plans to port some of theses to haXe) - No Flash9 compilation right now Of course, this is normal since haXe is still young and I'm expected each of theses points to be fixed in the upcoming weeks.
