Hi ARP developers,
I was wondering if it was easy to use ARP in a non-form flash

well-suited for form-enabled flash apps, but what about the applications

A form in the ARP context is typically just a MovieClip extended class.
If your application uses MovieClips as container objects, then ARP is
fine as it is. If, however, you don't want to use MovieClips as your
base object, you can still make use of things like System events and the
like. At
