[Extendflash] JSFL: Macromedia Request your Feedback

[Judah Frangipane]

Tomas,

When I was working on my JSFL project a few months ago, I had somethings 
in the Flash MX 2004 IDE that I could not access. I don't remember what 
they were or if they have been added to Flash 8. I think there were a 
few panels that I could not access.

I just remembered some other things I want.

1. Add OOP features, like importing classes or including libraries/other 
script files (and keep variable scope).
2. Add External Interface API to JSFL. So I can create my whole JSFL app 
in Flash and then just call the scripts seemlessly from ActionScript 
without using FSCommand. (maybe this is already possible). Actually 
being able to import JSFL library or something into a flash application 
and not ever having to go into editing a text file would be great way to 
work. :)
