Hey guys have you seen that:
http://fr.youtube.com/watch?v=nvWwlZSXaR0feature=related

First experiment with flash and Papervision. And the bell :]

Muzak a écrit :
Haven't really looked into all the wonderfl details, but - at first 
looks - seems similar to what is already possible with Flex and 
Coldfusion.
Flex 1.0 and 1.5 were both compiled on the server, there was no swf 
output like there is with Flex 2 and 3 and what we're used from the 
Flash IDE.


Flex 2/3 can still be compiled server side in combination with 
Coldfusion.


So rather than having an html + swf, you'd browse to an mxml file.
http://domain.com/index.mxml

How comfortable are people with having all your sourcecode online 
instead of local  online storage

- would make me nervous on very large projects


Doesn't change anything development wise.
You'd still have a local copy - deploying to a local (or network) 
server for testing.

Upload to live server when done.


What happens when you want to compile and the server is down or hiccups?
Must be online to develop - no working on the airplane or places 
without Wi-Fi


Same as above, not an issue if you'd develop locally.
And that goes for most of your other concerns.

Just because they're demoing it online, doesn't mean you *have* to 
develop online, well at least that's the way I see it :).

Muzak

definitely need to implement that - and how would that handle smart 
import statements for your project?  Could be tricky,

Using third party code - or importing classes of your own - they

hiccups?  It was doing that to me when I tested - annoying and a big 
productivity waster.

Working inside a browser - that's going to impose several limitations 
there - like hotkey combination conflicts
Not seeing your file structure locally - they would have to create a 
pretty slick UI for viewing your project
Working with media assets - what about having to upload images, 
movies, sound, fonts, yuck!


I think it maybe has potential a long way down the road, but so far, 
this isn't anything I think people will be able to do anything useful 
with just yet.  Seems the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages - 
at least right now. Maybe someday.

2009-02-02 Thread Anthony Pace

Hi Jason,

Actually I think something like this has the potential to be great if 
taken in the right direction, and given a GUI that is much better; 
however, there is definitely the draw back of speed, if the server has 
to compile a file for 10 to 100 to a 1000 users at once.


Imagine a scenario where a project is kept entirely on one server, and 
multiple people can edit a file separately or at the same time in 
realtime, like whiteboarding, using ajax or flash and amf, and choosing 
the revision, and of course all done without the hassles of purchasing 
licenses for multiple computers, downloading every file required for a 
build, and installing an app on every users machine.


They already do this with mainframe style apps, so I would like it 
greatly if one could just go online as per normal and use the app in the 
browser.  Mixing something like aviary, but with the ability to make 
animations, and having and ide with flashdevelop's feature set, would be 
downright awesome.


My 2 cents,
Anthony
