[Laszlo-user] OL for Flash only

[Evaldas Taroza]

Hi,

I am starting with OL. I decided to create a simple chat application, 
based on XMPP, in order to play a bit with OL. In XMPP peers normally 
communicate using sockets, so the chat would leverage the flash runtime 
only.

However, everywhere I try to find out how to do flash stuff with OL I 
stumble on comments that I should consider using Actionscript and Flex 
instead, because the power of OL is the portability...

I really want to play with OL, but apparently I will need to reach some 
flash related interfaces. Moreover, there are libraries like XIFF 
written in Actionscript.

So several questions:
1. Considering that I need only flash runtime how can I use available 
Actionscript libraries inside my LZX scripts?
2. Is it reasonable to choose OL for my described app? Maybe Flex is a 
better choice?
3. How much flash API can I reach from OL scripts? How can I export 
flash APIs to be available in OL?

Thanks for help.
