The idea behind AFLAX is that a lot of web site interaction can be done in
JavaScript these days, as we all know. Rather than switching away to any
other language or flavor of language in order to access the capabilities of
Flash, my thought was to keep them all together under the same roof.
That is, you could write a single JavaScript function, client side, that is
used by both your 'Flash JavaScript' and regular JavaScript. For example,
function setName(name) { _name = name; }
Function getName() { return _name; }
This is a simple example, but you could now setName() via an onBlur() event
off of your form input field and then render the name in a nice color and
font somewhere using Flash by getting the value via getName(). The idea is
that you didn't cross any language or runtime boundaries, it's all
JavaScript, regardless if you were talking to Flash or the browser or both.
Just give it a try, if it is not for you, no worries. :-)
Thanks,
Paul
