Has this issue been raised at Adobe? >Frankly, I'm looking for reasons to update. The reason to update is this: By moving to Apache Flex, any bugs you want fixed or features you want added can proposed as patches by yourself, and should show up in the next release (assuming there isn't backward compatibility issues or major bugs in the patch). Let's say you find a bug in the SDK. Right now you can call Adobe and pay them to help you, but I'm not sure that will be the case 3 years from now. You can monkey-patch your fix, but what if the monkey-patch is big enough to defeat the value of the RSLs? >Cached RSLs had >been a major argument against updating so far, so I'm looking to gain >some confidence when I will try to convince my boss that we would be >better off with the newer SDK. Yeah, losing the RSLs can be painful for certain scenarios, but instead of worrying about getting hosed by a bad player release, help us develop FlexJS so you no longer need RSLs. -Alex
