lol!
i hear ya. had to ask a VERRY talented ajax-programmer some months ago (pre externalinterface/integration kit time), why the hell he tried to accomplish letting the embedded swf talk to his js-class and vice versa for exchanging XtmlHttpRequest-data.
me: ‘it is called the XML-Object, it has a method sendAndLoad and it’s been here since the beginning of this century’.
him: ‘no, because!’
sometimes i am extremely baffled by how far certain mindsets are just not compatible…but i love them ajaxians :)
and because of that it is really interesting to get an insight and dig further. thank you for the mindspray-link.
