There seems to be a lot of negative comments about usability, platform inconsistency, etc. However, I’d argue those are short-sited. At first, it may be true that plug-ins developed via this technique aren’t consistent, but I’d rather suffer through a little bit of pain for long term gain. The Flash platform is becoming more and more capable, and by providing extensibility through a simpler, widely adopted language, it should help vastly increase the number of available plug-ins. <\/p>\n
