[jdev] Jabberd2, Flash Client and terminator character...

[Ryan Eatmon]

Hello all...  speaking as the person who propagated the Flash hack into 
jadc2s...  I agree that propagating it is a bad idea.

My questions have always been this...

Does Flash support TCP/IP connections?

Does Flash support basic string handling?

If the answers to the above are Yes (which I suspect they are), then why 
is the option of someone writing an XMPP library that works they way all 
of the other languages work not discussed?

Generally, the Open Source model says that if a solution doesn't fit 
quite right for you, then you go create the solution that does.  Why doe 
you have to wait for Macromedia to change that?  Just because the have a 
  feature that does most of what you want, doesn't mean that can't 
invent your own solution and share it with the rest of the world.

Just my $0.02.
