Purpose and Scope of this blog

With this initial posting we would like to announce to the ever growing Flash development community our ongoing efforts to create and maintain an extensible Macromedia Flash based framework for developing highly engaging and interactive web sites using sound Object Oriented methodology and approach.

We believe ...
That the development of any interactive content should not be made at the expense of good software design. We are committed to allow the design community to continuosly express their creative efforts in the best possible way and at the same time to enable the developers to create a well designed, performant, executable, tested and maintainable software. We would also like to chalenge you and see what your thinking in this direction is.

Based on our experience ...
We believe we can share our success and failure and introduce a different and hopefully successful approach how to develop interactive content using Macromedia Flash.

This framework is based on 2 years of our collective effort and over a 100 projects and in its latest incarnation will attempt to introduce what we believe is a sound and extensible way of approaching development of Flash modules.

Why share?
Well, a lot of what we do and the reason for some of our success is because the flash community has always been open to sharing. You will witness that we reference and use a lot of open code and we base some of our solutions on it.
We strongly believe there is a point when one has to share his work and expose it to the thoughts and candor of the flash community and the people engaged in the flash development.
We would like to pick your brains and we are confident that we will spawn your interest once you take the time to see what we have done.
There is always room to improve and to build upon the efforts of the creative minded open and willing to experiment community.

The first version ...
Of this framework will feature entirely OO AS 2.0 code compatible with Flash player version 7. Soon after we intend to release an amended version that will be fully compatible with the recently released Flash player 8 and will take advantage of some of its new features.
