If Macromedia provides us with the tools, to create such, I see no problem. Maybe it would become in like action=""> event="network/io/db/memory/etc" task="cfc"> And the use CFC's to handle the events. So the gateway only is a observer, and triggers cfc's

If the source code is provided I think it is likely that more people will try to develop their own if the situation arises where they need something different. I know sometimes people just need a solid starting block, though I agree with Matt's skepticism. Adam On Tue, 17 Aug 2004 10:26:56 -0400
