I have found myself building my applications with break-out libraries, because I will use them elsewhere or see them eventually being put into flexlib. I have used flexlib to save myself the headache of creating those components myself. Great point he makes about supporting those solutions and who is going to be responsible. Hell, if I do not have to put 500 hours into creating some of these things in the application, that is 500 hours I can spend supporting the product. Support I would be doing for sure if I wrote it myself. This way I can do my part and debug problems and give back to the community. Who is the winner here? The user, of course. We just get the kudos. So, the adoption of the RIM (Rich Internet Mashup) is upon us and we must embrace it. Of course, I would be squawking at the choir to be telling you. Thanks for keeping us updated! Tony Doug,
