Last I heard, Claus & Co are ontop of it and have been holding out due to the limitations of pre-8.5 world of luv.
I've had a crack at it approx 6 times and i get overwhelmed by the complexities of turning FLEX code into an DOM Engine. I've managed to absorb parts of XHTML and render them accordingly, but no matter what we do, getting close to having a total "browser" display has limits. There are other movements out there that are kind of cheating in terms of producing HTML inside Flash. I've seen an interesting approach to this problem, using ICEBrowser and moving along the lines of "Flash Paper" approach. There are limitations though, especially with bullet lists and what not. I had a theory in that if you were to approach the problem with say ICEBrowser, and provided you are able to maintain seperation in terms of layers with TEXT and BITMAP you can then overlay "interactive" form controls with appropriate flex ones. The trick though is to loose the text as a sliced layer, and then overlay text much like the way flash paper does, but do so in a way that's consistent with the visual aspect of the site in which one is browsing? All pie in the sky stuff, but i'm holding out for DENG - 8.5 generation. On 9/7/05, David Mendels <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'd love to see this.
