Hi,

What do you think about OpenLaszlo?
It generates an easy way Flash files, after processing a XML file.

Sounds cool. I didn't have the opportunity yet to test it. Any experiences anybody?

it is like FLEX

Ralf

Jim, if you have some experience with it, it would be great if you told us a little more (if you have enough time).

I haven't dev. with OpenLaszlo, but I did with FLEX.

the process is: xml--->compile---->swf

such as:

Code:

 <mx:Application 
 	xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" xmlns="*" xmlns:comp="common.component.*"
 	width="810" height="550" fontSize="12"
 	backgroundColor="#000000"
 	initialize="init_app()" usePreloader="true" preloader="chineseLoading">	
 <mx:Script>
 	<![CDATA[
 function init_app(){
 trace("beigin");
 }	
 function test(){
                         trace("test");
                 }		
 	]]>
 </mx:Script> 
 <mx:Canvas id="mainshow" width="810" height="550" marginRight="0" marginLeft="0">
 			<mx:HDividedBox width="0" height="0" />
 			<mx:Loader source="test/test_main.swf" width="810" height="550" horizontalAlign="center" verticalAlign="top" scaleContent="false"/>			
 			<comp:testComp id="test_comp" visible="false"/>			
 </mx:Canvas>
 
 </mx:Application>

user wirte this xml and process with FLEX server, it will generate a new SWF file.

If we make a wrap, I think JSWiff also can do this too.

Definitely. The only question is, how big this wrapper has to be

If OpenLaszlo works well, there's no need to implement a clone on top of JSwiff. In my opinion, the OS world is too full of clones.
BTW, one might wonder here, why is there a JSwiff when Transform can achieve about the same thing (and more)? The core of JSwiff was developed before Transform was open source. And then, in my opinion, Transform had (has) some flaws which pretty much disturb me.
But ok, all this is off-topic. I'm getting curious, I guess I'll give OpenLaszlo a try.

your sample in source-package is a simple one.
