Hi DL, Thanks for that, but I perhaps should have explained what I meant by 'wiring' a little better.
In a 'normal' application you have to write code to cater for all of the things that might happen when its running. Whether you use C++ or Java or Flash the range of possibilities is pretty much set in advance. However, with a dynamic binding approach, your application simply says something abstract like "provide a control for the user to use to choose a city". The fact that at run-time this control may end up being a map of the US, or a drop-down box of names...that it may be in English or French...all of those things are irrelevant to the *logic* of your program. This 'late-binding' of functionality can only really be implemented if your application doesn't rely on anything in particular being there, and if the end-user or other developers are able to add components independently of your application. That isn't possible with the Laslzo 'compilation' step; you could bind in some libraries at compile time, but once the app is complete, it's complete, and the question of the *deployment* of that Flash file is irrelevant to its behaviour.
