<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Dan,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>as a flash and php developer I would love to see flash in use for the RTE editor for non MSIE browsers, but there are still some problems:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>1. flash doesn't support style sheets yet (but it will in Flash Player 7, which is currently in beta)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>2. it doesn't support <img> tags in textfields. this will also come with flash player 7, but will only support left or right align. And there is only support for nonprogressive jpgs and swf.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>3. AMFPHP is really very comfortable, but even though flash supports unicode, AMFPHP still has problems with certain characters. I made a little test and all german ä, ö, ü, etc. weren't interpreted right.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>So right now I think Flash isn't a option for the alternative RTE, but with Flash 7 and a more stable release of AMFPHP, it would be definitly worth a try.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>have a nice day</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi folks!</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Just a silly idea, but might be worth a thought. How about using FLASH </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>for implementation of a RTE? There are already some solutions around.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(Look at www.flashkit.com or one of the other flash-sites).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>And by using AMFPHP (www.amfphp.org) you can even simply communicate </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>with TYPO3 (flash remoting re-done in PHP, works like a charm, is open </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>source). So sending and receiving data should not be the problem. Flash </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Remoting uses http-requests, so no firewall-problems, either...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Flash has the advantage that it runs on almost every browser you get a </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>plugin for (except opera, which does not support binary posts from flash </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and therefore does not support flash remoting).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I know, flash is kinda horrible from a programmers point of view (I </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>hated it, too), but I came to like it...</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Cheerio, Dan.</FONT>
