We're also developing an equivalent to the Flex Form Designer geared specifically toward "level editing" for lack of a better word. Oh, and while it's all built on Flex/Flash, it's not dependent on them (it's not literally MXML)... its a generic "HTML" for 2D games that can be served to any game "browser". Just think of the mash-ups! ;-) Troy. On 4/27/07, Andrew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yeah any examples, links or other descriptions would be great.
