[worldKit-dev] swflayer problem

[Ian Mayo]

I'm currently in discussion with the chaps at actionscript.com
regarding them writing an architectural design document for worldKit
under AS3 - optimally exploiting AS3/Flex2 functionality.  They're
putting together a quote at the moment - though the amount of time
they're investing in preparing the quote is starting to suggest that
the quote may be out of my budget anyway.

Will keep all informed...

Further on the AS3 subject.  Once I've got the open source development
environment proven & working I'm happy to start investing time in
asUnit testing of the code.  There's a chance that support for testing
may require some refactoring, but I'll make sure I tread very lightly.
 Ultimately an existing set of asUnit test should ease both
development and regression testing of the AS3 port.

Ian.
