Hi all ! I'm looking at using Thrift for a large scale server project (MMO). Our servers need to talk to Flex clients (browser). Currently the client/server communication is done with SmartFox. It's ok, but the server side is too limiting.
As far as I can tell, there isn't support yet for Flex. So, three questions: 1) Is someone out there working on a port of Thrift for Flex/AS3 ? I did see some previous messages back from Sept/08 about this, but nothing seemed to come of it (nothing in the repo). I'll try to contact the people that posted those messages... 2) If not, roughly how much work is involved in doing such a port from scratch ? In the end, I need to do this or write my own RPC protocol. I'd rather support the Thrift project if it's doable. Is a partial port possible ? It seems so. Even a basic port of the core transport stuff would be fine. Don't need Flash based servers !! 3) Any other thoughts here ? Does the Facebook Platform API help here ? Thank-you !!
