Hi John,

I have no idea where everyone goes to discus flash topics, but I know for
me, I depend on StackOverflow.com.

A question for you though since you wrote and I know you do a lot AIR.

I took it upon myself to leverage WordPress as a CMS platform and use AIR
for the mobile front end.  AIR is essentially the shell and WordPress is
the content.

I'm making what is essentially a "Whisper" app clone.

I have a big decision though and I'm not sure what direction to go.

It has to with StageWebView. StageWebView is in many ways limiting, but if
I used it to display content, development would be more rapid and I could
more easily take advantage of open source tools.  The main trade off is a
little less refined control over cosmetics and user experience.  Then
again, with CSS3 and recent improvements, it's a now a little easier to
create a unique experience with HTML/JavaScript.

Alternatively, I'm finding it relative easy to access and load WordPress
data into AIR via JSON, but displaying what may be 1000's of posts requires
a lot of code and thought. WordPress makes it so you hardly have to think
about this in StageWebView.  For instance, AIR has no native kinetic
scrolling.  I've found a good library which I'm now using, but at the cost
of 5 or 6 hours research.  StageWebView would have solved it instantly.

What do you do?

I hope everyone is having a nice holiday.

Sorry to hijack your thread, but with so little activity on this mailing
list I thought it made sense.

Thank you,
Kurt
