Chris, I'm really surprised that a company such as Macromedia won't use it's own technology to get out the word. Doesn't it make more sense to use streaming video to get the word out? I mean really, a media company that refuses to use its resources...BTW - unless MM decides to send all of us poor

[flexcoders] HttpService Push (Re: HTTPService timeout)

2005-10-09 Thread Eric Raymond
