Well, I guess it depends on what you call a large project ;-)
I do know that without a proper framework (MVC at a mimimum, doesn't have to be
ARP etc..) things get messy, fast..
And I disagree that you have to be an advanced coder to learn and understand
them and afterall, this is FlashCoders, not
FlashNewbies.
That aside, I didn't say that if you want to use WebServices through
ActionScript that you need some kind of framework.
