Hi Gavin, It sounds like a good idea. Anyway, if you want to do something, you should just start your job. If you hava got something, you can show it here. May be there will be more guys like it.
But i think may be your idea is a very large project, it is not a easy thing if you want to finish this ActionScript engine well. As we know, Rahul Akolkar finished Commons SCXML java based SCXML engine, may be you need more advises from him. BTW, he is a warmhearted guy :-) 在 2011年1月30日 下午2:43，Gavin Lei <gavingui2...@gmail.com>写道： > Hi Jake, > > Thank you for your help and you have done a good job.
