I'll be awaiting your posts on it! I haven't played with it much do to not developing in Flex yet, but from what I heard about it at MAX 2007... it sounded like it could be quite useful. Great!

Thanks for letting me know, I am gonna try some of the examples out there. I havent got my hands dirty yet with the FABridge but from the looks of it, it looks like an interesting library.

This is something you would use with it, rather than ExternalInterface? I assume that FABridge will be popular once it’s outta beta status?

A whole lot of things can be done in terms of communicating with javascript and browser. placing a var before w_ will make it not work because then it will be treated as a flex variable? is that what you wanted to say? yes I agree to that.

It will be much more useful for communicationg with JavaScript directly - you can do browser programming from inside Flex. You can for example parse location, place divs, add or remove DOM nodes. I think you just forgot to mention the most important part is this: ...call("w_ = function() {... as it triggers JS function execution. And you can't place var before w_ at it will not work at all.
