Message: [QUOTE="taylorius, post: 636714"] Hi all, I have developed a Flash 7 compatible virtual machine in java 1.1. This will allow java developers to use Macromedia Flex, or Flash MX to make great looking front ends, graphical animations etc directly within their java application. The core technology is all there, but I obviously want to release it in its most useful form to java developers. I would be interested to know what people might want from such a system, i.e. how do people think it should interface with a normal java application. Here are a couple of the questions that I am considering, but I am interested to hear people's thoughts on all aspects of this idea. Currently java classes can be accessed from actionscript by their implementing a simple "ASObject" interface, which allows access to public methods of the class. Is this the most useful way of connecting native, backend java classes with the Flash VM? Should the UI run directly as a java application, or should it be invoked by the application on demand. If the latter, how should it present itself? I greatly appreciate your comments and advice on this, and look forward to (hopefully) doing things the right way! :-) Regards Matt [/QUOTE]
