Name me another widely supported, portable and practical substitute technology (preferably with a decent IDE) and I’ll switch to it immediately, with glee.
I was originally trying to use Open Laszlo’s ability to target DHTML as the target object, until I ran into the “cross-site scripting” considered harmful limitations, and haven’t found a way around that yet.
Unfortunately, after dorking around endlessly with OpenLaszlo and its rich suite of bugs and documentation fail, I’m working up the next version in Flash CS4. But I’m open to suggestions.
Tell me what you’re trying to accomplish with it and I will respond. It looks like you’re scraping RSS feeds and posting the results with links, and that doesn’t need flash, to be sure. PHP or javascript could accomplish that easily.
@Brandon — Our fiendish plan is actually far more evil than that. Not only are we using Flash to post news links, but we are facilitating use of Flash by a nearly unlimited potential number of people who might wish to post our news links in any number of places hither and yon about the internet.

Flash? Wow, it’s great that he’s on board with this!
Not sure why he felt he needed to use the cringe-worthy Flash to post news links.

Just so you know. Carry on.

PHP ain’t gonna run on the client side.
Javascript/DHTML is another alternative, for sure. Point me at something that smooth-scrolls an RSS feed and I’ll build on it.
This has to be in the ballpark I would think, but you still haven’t explained what you’re trying to accomplish with the plugin.
