Thanks Kevin, good to know XML is there, and hope you can look at prioritizing this 2-way JavaScript communication between web page and plugin.
The reason for this is that the world of the web-app has already moved a long way in terms of AJAX and Flash widgets living together and talking to web services. Stand-alone Rev plugins that are not able to interact with the AJAX based widgets on a page are always going to be second class citizens, and not serious contenders in any development process. On the other hand if a developer can use Rev to rapidly develop plugins which talk to other developers work or to existing open source widgets (take YUI widgets as an example), then a much stronger argument can be made for developing widgets with a new plugin. All of the web apps that i'm planning would want to sit on a page / enhance the working of an existing AJAX application - that is they would provide enhanced functionality. And of course we all get will some much more impressive demos of RunRev based web apps :) 2009/6/25 Kevin Miller <[email protected]> > 3.
