Hello list,
Ok, sounds good, but I don't see clearly how to convert my already drawn
eps/whatever into commands so can rewrite a svg an then save it.
I can make instructions for writing the svg, but I have the drawings pre
made.

no, its not about the cache..
the point is that i want the movie to load the feed again, except this time with the parameter ?PictureID=XX [where XX is a number]
so the feed will provide a list of 10 older jpegs, so eventually I can scroll trough the whole set of jpgs uploaded by users.

It's probably the onLoad handler that is missing some sort of context.
Make sure everything you reference in the onLoad handler isn't
undefined (check by tracing). Without seeing code, this is all I can
think of.

It's going to be everyone's responsibility to stay on the same page,
but if you're leading the effort, you're also going to have to

Using some sort of versioning system is an absolute must.

deals with Mac resource forks and so on.

Nope, just confusion on the license terms. Adobe will work with you, but

With that said, if I plan on doing Remoting (which could be construed
as a broad term I guess), what would I require in order to do that? Of
course in Flash, you just use the Remoting Classes, etc. and you are all

By default, compilation is done on the developer's workstation, not on a

Flex 1.5 vs. Flex 2
- SDK is free (mxmlc compiler and component framework [and I think compc
too])
- Flex 1.5 uses FlexBuilder 1.5, basically Dreamweaver MX 2004 with built-in
SWF renderer. Flex 2 uses Eclipse, either as a standalone install, or a
plugin.
- Flex 1.5 hardcoded to make Flash
Wow that is great!
So basically, the method in which clients retrieve their SWF files are
the same as getting a plain old SWF file created using Flash?
So the Flex SWF (which gets compiled on the developers machine) simply
gets copied to the Web Server hosting the application. That is great!

These are my opinions, but 2 main things:

cases. Basically, it's a test FLA or a test MXML application that

No. This is not correct.
The Player and Framework support sending and receiving data to the
server in a number of ways:
HTTP
Binary and XML Sockets
AMF
On top of this player support, the Flex framework provides:
HTTPService - makes HTTP calls a little easier
SOAP and XML-RPC based web
Wow - so when you say AMF - this is the same as Remoting correct?
As far as I know, these 2 terms are/were interchangeable.
With that said, if I have a ColdFusion Server running, I can immediately
start writing highly functional apps using Flex 2.0 Beta and make
Remoting calls??
