No worries, Jesse. Mike and I are pretty thick-skinned by now, so we don’t take much personally. I’m glad you (and others) are finding the kit useful. I’m not sure why you were having issues with the FlashTag (it’s not supposed to behave that way), but I’ll look into it.

I recently used the integration kit to create a Flash template for MovableType that passes the id of the post to a Flash-based blog. Since my app is fullscreen, I was disturbed to see a swf load in when the kit was called, creating a scrollbar in the browser. Other than that, I think the kit is pretty cool, and like you I agree it’s needed.

Unfortunately I’m tied to using JS Flash communication for a desktop app that uses DRM’d windows media. So while I agree why mix the two, there are times when you have to. These desktop apps are what my company do, there’s no way around it. I have to talk to JS from the Flash UI in order to get data, control the windows, play video, etc.

Glad to see you ended up finding a use for it. :)
