10yrs ago I left the community for Flash, then a few years ago I dropped Flash for CCS3/DHTML. Now I'm playing with RunRev (was MetaCard) again and having fun. Lots of things have been improved, the font support and html rendering are very impressive.
What's lacking however, is the ability to *easily* create GUI skins. This was a huge problem in Flash as well until a technique known as Scale9 was developed. An entire site is dedicated to this when a UI designer realized its potential: http://www.scalenine.com/ All you do is drop the GUI component of your choice into your Flash app and *poof*, instant skin. It's actually quite easy to do as well using the tools in Flash but sites like this make the task of creating the entire skin even easier. I'd love to see RunRev get its own Scale9, or $$$ plugin. PS: There was another project called "Liquid Components" for Flash which is now open source. It operated differently and was just as effective. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
