I am, however, having a lot of trouble trying to use this in an AS 3.0 project - compile errors with type problems, etc, etc. Is there a way to use SWX within an AS 3.0 project? Thanks in advance for your help :-) Robert Hi Aral,

Great stuff, and very simple to use. I am, however, having a lot of trouble trying to use this in an AS 3.0 project - compile errors with type problems, etc, etc.

Is there a way to use SWX within an AS 3.0 project?

Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Personally I think its great! Not sure if I'll use it, who knows, but I think anything that offers a way for more people to use Flash the better . And while I think Patrick Mineault makes some good points, I have to agree with Aral in that not everyone developing in Flash is ready for remoting and XML parsing (although I will say I wish they all were). The use of Flash is growing in leaps and bounds, which also means a ton of inexperienced people will be building flash apps (dare I say the wrong way?). From my perspective, SWX becomes just another option to separate the content from the presentation, allowing for a more maintainable app. And from where I sit, options are never a bad thing. How valid this option really is, only time can tell. As Aral mentioned, SWX is still in its infancy, lets wait and see if it becomes a drain on society or a boost, before we completely disregard it as a valid solution to a problem. [...] [...] Second, on a much lighter note, Aral Balkan has announced the SWX format for Flash Data exchange. Personally I think its great!

Using a LocalConnection for a callback when using SWF-ad-data is a better solution in general. For example you could pass in a LocalConnection id and you'd just get a response over that rather than having to poll result. This works better cross-domain because you don't have to muck with System.security.allowDomain() and stuff.

First, I released a new data exchange format for Flash called SWX. It was generally very enthusiastically received but Patrick Mineault was not impressed. The ensuing controversy no doubt made interesting reading for many during boredom breaks at the office, prompting Niqui’s post on The Blog Soap Opera. Just when I’d thought that we’d mostly agreed to disagree on the matter, I got an email this morning from Patrick that put a smile on my face. Apparently, on further thought, Patrick’s decided that SWX is a good idea after all and suggested that we merge it with Amfphp. [...] [...] What a crazy week this has been!

I really appreciate it. Also, thank you for all your offers to port SWX. I am currently working on getting it working on PHP 4 and will issue a new release once that's ready. I think the porting projects could start concurrently after that point. I need to set up a project page for this on OSFlash as well as a mailing list. I will also update you when that's ready. Again, thank you for your support and excitement! :) Hi guys,
