You can get Flex to play nice with Vista Aero Glass by using a new version of Java with it (I can't remember if I manually installed a manifest file or not next to the javaw.exe file). Basically, you'd set up your Flex shortcut like this: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 2\FlexBuilder.exe"

My take away from the last thread on this was that SEO is really a separate part of a webapp from the Flex/Flash/Ajax front end. The way I've been thinking about it is that pages that get indexed by the search engine, should have the content that is indexed in a clean html container. These page

Hello, I was wondering what the feasibility of porting an integer based audio decoder like Ogg Vorbis Tremor to Actionscript 3 is. Are there APIs in place that would allow you to load a vorbis file, decode it and output the audio? Does AVM2 have the horse power to pull off something like that?

In general, relying on a browsers onunload (or similar) event is not reliable. You could use a presence server or polling on the server side to detect when the client is no longer available. I've been doing some testing with XIFF and WildFire recently, and it seems to detect pretty quickly when
