Quote - .... but could someone respond to my question(s)?

Oh! I'm so sorry, Ariana... I did write a reply while I was still at work but it hasn't posted to the thread. Maybe I was interrupted and I closed the window by mistake before posting it... I'll see if I can recall more or less what I wrote... hold on a few.

Edit: I see I cross-posted with wimvdb, so there's no need now.

I would only add that the advantages of using pre-developed standardised cross-platform components such as Flash Player, Flex, Air, Silverlight etc. etc. are really overwhelming from everyone's viewpoint. A few teething problems, that's all...
