Thinking about it again, I think you're right on one point. There's certainly no reason that using their framework should break native Flash code. That's just sloppy. But, as it is a framework, I think it's totally legit that it makes you do certain things certain ways. I wouldn't say XPCompo

"that pretty much no one would buy their components if they knew ahead of time about this restriction" I think that's false. There are lots of people who are interested in using frameworks and using them completely. Making a viable frmaework that will integrate nicely with everyone in the world
