So you want to design your GUI in Flash with "movies" and "clips" and re-invent every little widget?
-----Original Message----- From: Jon Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] 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. ______________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
