AW: FLASH: XML handling in Flash 5

[Thomas Bilz]

I'm not sure about this. A normal scenario could be to develop a

HTML-Interface and a Flash-Interface for dynamic data at the same time. So

first of all you will generate xml and then transform it to html, but why

should you take another unncessary encoding on the server. I love the great

possibilites of XSLT, but the server-load is enormous.

Betreff: RE: FLASH: XML handling in Flash 5



I understand the benefits of XML, but what are the particular advantages to

using it with Flash? Why not urlencode things on the server and just send

variables that way? Obviously that may put more load on the server, but

there are definitely better tools for manipulating it server-side than there

are with Flash 5... a servlet or XSLT that transforms XML into urlencoded

name-value pairs is certainly easier to implement than creating your own

suite of utility functions or an API in F5...


The answer is probably that there's not much advantage yet, but in the

future there will be.
