I already have it working perfect in Flash Player >=11.5 ! I am excited about workers in Android and IOS( coming according to roadmap )!
I am not using any display list features in worker. I am building a reactive model with Flex using its binding, meta tag processing, collection classes, PropertyChangeEvent .... The way I see it, Flash/Flex is the only way to build complex logic in browsers, and that's one of the core values,( the other one is the unified API ). Please let Flex swf running as a worker on all platform!!! -Gary On Wed, Mar 12, 2014 at 10:00 PM, Alex Harui <[email protected]> wrote: > It would be interesting to see an example of how it could work.
