Simon Lord: By that same argument, why are adobe’s blogs not written in flash? and why do they use email, instead of some custom flash messaging tool?The reason being that sometimes it’s better to not reinvent a standardized wheel, with your own custom proprietary one.

Mike,It would be cool. As you mentioned when we met, it would be great to have one channel to discuss Flex, Apollo and ActionScript.Thanks-abdul

I like the idea of an IRC channel as well, but…Doesn’t a company that makes the most awesome communications backend for Flash see some irony in NOT using it’s own technology to build a developers chat room? Can’t someone just build a “pod” for Central or slap a realtime chat popup to the Adobe forums?Microsoft will have a field day publicly pointing out that Adobe users HAVE to use IRC rather than Adobe’s own RIA technology. They are in this space now and will poke holes anywhere they can (just thinking out loud here…).

As a designer who works and develops a lot with flash, I would be very interested in such a channel. Especially now since so much exciting new technology is being released.

Not a big fun of IRC. But a regular chat will be a very nice idea indeed. Technology users and developers talking will make everyones life easier.Some days ago I had the luck of speaking and making some Apollo questions to Mike Downey personally, and that make me fell more interested on the product and on what new cool stuff I can integrate on my products.

Sounds like a great idea.. would be nice to have a web access point for those who do not wish to install a client.
