I really enjoyed reading all of your posts. It?s interesting to read ideas, and observations from someone else?s point of view? makes you think more. So please keep up the great work. Best regards...

Aral gave me quite a beating in his, and if you're looking to see some Java antagonism Aral says it all.

SWX is quite clever thanks, but it wasn’t merely an intellectual exercise for me. It was born out of the very real need that I felt for a simpler way to create data-driven applications in Flash. This is a real need that I have and I am sure that others share this need. As such, by fulfilling this need, SWX *is* going to benefit the community. For other benefits of SWX, see my previous post (SWX: A good idea) in which I outline the advantages of SWX on a more technical level. As for my statement that SWX is a hack, I stand by that, and I think other people agree. [...] [...] I disagree strongly.

SWX is about simplicity and it has different use-case scenarios. It's not meant for enterprise applications. It's funny that you mention that you wouldn't use frameworks written by people "who write code like that" (referring to myself and to Arp, I'm assuming). Well, the great thing is, Arp is open source and you can use it or not, it's up to you! A lot of great Flash developers do use Arp and I'm sure many more Flash developers will use SWX as well. SWX is not a "mess", "sloppy" or "backwards". It captures the essence of Flash and it is meant for *Flash* developers. It's meant to be used to create quick mashups and for people to experiment with. It is meant to create a crack in the perception that some developers want to perpetuate that doing data transfers is rocket science. SWX is about fun -- not suits. Hi Theo,
