to be precise, reflection is present in flash player (via describetype) but the queries about structure of some class are not cached, and accessible as xml not as a collection or something similar. 2012/3/7 Alex Harui : > > > > On 3/7/12 9:08 AM, "Stefan Horochovec" wrote: > >> Well >> >> In my p

I believe the purpose of this mailing list and project is to allow for lazy consensus on additions/updates to the Apache Flex SDK. I don't think there's anything wrong with people suggesting changes/updates/additions, they just need to back it up with code so the community can act on it. So if
