I finally found a neat way to decorate SWF7 classes with SWF8 functionality. It
worked with a simple test case so I still need to test it against a more
complex example but the basic idea is the following:
- there's an interface called IFoo that defines all functions that should be
available
This is an interesting approach. Let me see if I get this right:
1) create components that handle generic behaviour (eg a nav bar that remembers the currently selected link)
2) hide each component behind an interface
3) create mxml that lays out these components, adding visual assets etc as

Hah ignoring the inflamatory statements :-)
The version numbering is a very good reason to keep them separate. One thing you might be happy about for Flex2 is that it gives intellisense/code hints within the same file (as you'd hope!) but also across included script files. So that's a bonus.
Robert,
I completely agree with everything you just said! If we can't see a clear winner, we'll just pick one way, any way as long as it works and refactor later if we have to. But since our team's at an early stage of Flex dev it seems like a good idea to pick up as many tips as we can before

ok, say I have a Java VO called FooVO and a AS VO called FooVO. Both
have a property called myDate of Date datatype. The Java version has
a getter and setter for it. I have the AS Vo registered to map to the

Unfortunately, no. A lot of what I'm doing is

The problem with this argument is that there are indeed very good

Yeah, that's mostly what I mean. I think the important bit is to keep
peers from knowing about each other.
For example, imagine an app something like this:

Scoreboard id=s /
Player id=p1 scoreboard={s} /
Player id=p2 scoreboard={s} /
Game id=g players={[p1, p2]}
That sounds like a bug in the serializers to me. Its getting
marshalled as a string.
Now in a WebService you should use a Calendar rather then a Date.
Have you tried that to see if it works better? It definately works
with a WebService.
