I've written several applets (for SBC and SBT) and converted one plugin to an applet. I was talking with a developer about one of these and was told that I could do it as a plugin instead of an applet. This included doing menus etc. Now I never actually got around to trying that so I really don't have experience with it. I was basing things on what I had been told. I personally did not have too much trouble converting the plugin to an applet, but I'm already quite familiar with Lua having used it for other projects. I apologize if I made things sound too easy, I was under the impression that a plugin could display on the touch. I still don't think things are quite as bleak as having to completely start from scratch for everything. Having something working, even if it is on a different environment makes things much easier than starting from scratch. I personally like Lua much better than perl, so I will most likely be spending my time (what little there is) writing applets. :-) John S. -- JohnSwenson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JohnSwenson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5974 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71637 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
