RE: [Flashcoders] anyone using mCom?
The components themselves are great. They are lightweight, generally easy to skin, and the API is very compatible with the v2 components that MM ships. With that said; the company that acquired the set, Metaliq, does not appear to be interested in documenting or supporting them. I have sent numerous emails/tickets trying to get better documentation, but have not received a reply yet on that issue. At one point, Grant Skinner said his people would try to get them to update the documentation, but this has not happened yet. Direct from their website you can see the last update was: September 1st, 2005 Version 1.0.124.

[Flashcoders] anyone using mCom?
I've been disappointed with the MCOM components. Alot of that has to do with the lack of documentation and support. They match the V2 API's in many cases, but in the cases where they don't its not always easy to figure out how to make them work the way you want since the methods and properties are not properly documented. In some cases the existing documentation has incorrect method and property names adding to the frustration. Then when you try to contact their support you're very lucky to ever hear back from them. They have a support ticket system (not linked anywhere on their site), but I can't find how to access the page to add a new ticket, I can only get to the list of my old list of tickets (thanks to some old emails I saved). Its not a good support situation to say the least. There are some bugs in the components, which is understandable, but without proper support it becomes a pretty big problem when you run into them. I expected much better than this especially considering the price tag. If they improved support and actively updated them, only then could I recommend purchasing them. On the positive side, I do like the skinning capabilities. Its flexible and pretty straight forward once you get past the errors in the documentation (I seem to recall some of the linkage ID's are wrong). In most respects the components themselves are a step up from the V2 components, but only a subset of the V2 components are represented. -Steve *Rich Rodecker* wrote: anyone out there have any experience with using the mCom component set from Metalliq?

Thanks for the info Ryan, that should prove useful in the future. -Steve -- *Ryan Matsikas* wrote : Some people on this list use mCom and a few of the developers (including myself) are also on the list, if you aren't having luck with Metaliq's response's to your issues feel free to ask here. Also there is a google group for mCom that a few users are on, and some of the issues/bugs have been covered there.
