Hey Andrew... BTW... Nice job of diverting everybody's attention away from the problem that is staring everybody in the face RIGHT NOW. I swear, some of you people around here remind me of rats following the Pied Piper. Andrew plays a smooth tune, and everybody forgets that they still won't be able to have a site that is congruous with itself.

People: Helloooooo..... Is anybody home?? The flash apps are going to be part of your site longer than you think. What if all the automobile manufacturers, see more instead of repairing vehicles with a manufacturing defect, told all their customers that they are not going to fix it, because next years model will use better technology? Would you simply accept this, and patiently wait for next years model to roll off the assembly line, or would you want the vehicle you bought with your hard earned money, fixed right now.

Noticed the "p.s." part? I asked for specific parts of the Flash apps that can't be customised - tell us, we'll get them fixed, so that it would all be customisable. It would still have to be done using current method - firing up Flash and changing the FLA files. Later today we'll also discuss changing Flash templates along with the site templates to adress the kind of problem that you sampled on your site.

As for switching over to the templating method that you suggest, that would be see more counter-productive and would take about as much time as development of a new non-Flash chat and IM. We'll try to push the new apps to happen sooner than a year.

^^^It doesn't have to take that long. Take a couple of the programmers and create a team, make that little corner guy share his work properly, with full build environment and you might be surprised what we, the community, can do to help you guys out with this. Yes, flash sucks, especially on the mobile side of the web, but it doesn't mean we should have to deal with all the problems on our sites it brings because corner boy refuses to share his ball.

Is that really to much to ask?
