hey i just stumbled accross DENG while looking for a way to use xforms, it seems to be the best tool around, and it has impressed me so far, I have setup IE 7beta 2day and DENG works, this is because of the flash support no doubt, so from someone who usually struggles to find tools that deliver what they promise, for a change I have been suprised by a marvelous little DENG thanks i hope that things work out for DENG as the roadmap looks promisiong, if i think about how DENG could compliment ajax applications the web seem endless

Yes it should be quite straightforward to load the DENG SWF into your Laszlo application. Please let me know if you run into trouble.

As for DENG 2.0, i don’t know if Laszlo plans to port their stuff over to AS3, if they do, it should be even easier to integrate it (we haven’t even started with DENG 2.0 though..)

Actually, it is quite easy to import test.swf as resource in openlaszlo.

The second view (id=”mask”) is a mask since the scrolled HTML goes outside the view boundary.

Next step will be to try to integrate test.as into openlaszlo code .. but the above rough experiment works.

Add to that .. interest here in integrating DENG with OpenLaszlo web apps.

Hey Claus,

You know my luv for DENG so i won’t echo whats been said, :)

I do however need it in a project i’m working on, where i want to basically read in XHTML on the fly and figured, DENG is the ducks nuts.

So, i’ve slowly been working on porting it to FLEX 1.5 (project req at this point) so once i get that up and running, i’ll shoot you over some feedback to keep an eye out for? - i know AS3.0 is a totally different world, but i’ve found when migrating code base to FLEX 2.0 it sometimes pays to see how it fits in 1.5 as with 1.5 you can touch the frameworks code base, where as 2.0 you can’t..

Incidently, i noticed there is a lot of _level0 use, not sure how FLEX will like that but yeah, i’m sure i’m in for a long week in the porting hehe.

Glad to hear about the continuation of DENG. DENG is awesome and I think many more people could use it.

This was actually a statement made by myself, a reaction to Nicolas Cannasses announcement that there will be no MTASC with AS3 support.

Having thought about it and having discussed the issue with the DENG team, DENG 2.0 is most likely not dead and we will start development (as planned) with Macromedias own tools (not without the hope there will be an open source AS3 compiler popping up somewhen in the future).

As for MathML, not that i know of. Good that you mention it though, as MathML certainly should be included in the DENG 2.0 roadmap.

Other BLOGs are claiming that the lack of an open-source A3 compiler will be the death of DENG 2.0. Will this project continue without an open-source tool?

Also, has anyone used DENG to format math equations?

>100% compliant CSS 3 parser

Exciting!
