What I found extremely interesting was this sentence: "Allaire says that the next-generation Flash player will be able to run fully connected, intermittently connected, or as a standalone application platform... "
Does this mean that Flash will have the ability to run outside of the browser in the future? It sure seems to me like that's what he said. That is pretty cool if so, current application GUI design really really sucks. Visual Studio.net and Delphi both suffer from the little gray window syndrome and are not cross platform. Java just sucks all around in GUI design. The ability to design a GUI in Flash would get me on the Flash ship...maybe. Another very interesting thing... "Finally, Allaire says the next-generation player "integrates rich media" by displaying them in a single container rather than the multiple separate applications commonly used today." Does rich media mean video? I include video in my definition of rich media. If so, then either Macromedia is going out with a video player, or Flash is going have the ability to integrate other media players, like WMP. Hmmmm sounds very cool by itself, and what it may imply depending on how they allow integration. Is their an approximate release date for Flash 6 yet? jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Dowdell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 4:50 PM Subject: fyi: Jeremy Allaire interview on DevX > http://www.devx.com/free/hotlinks/2002/ednote020502/ednote020502.asp > > Although this is ostensibly about Flash, it really points out how we're > trying to make it more efficient to develop with both ColdFusion and Flash. > > jd > > > ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
