Anonymous openlaszlo What about it? 1 Nov 12 2006, 8:25 PM EST by websig

Hello,

I think you need to look into openlaszlo http://www.openlaszlo.org/ which is better than flex 2.0

You can create google maps via flash and ajax based on it, it’s better than Flex and for free since it’s an

open source ;)

You can with openlaszlo to make flash and ajax output, so you code it for once, and you can have any

output you want.

Multiple runtimes has always been on the roadmap. LZX was conceived as a language that would be

independent of Flash. This is being proven out with
the implementation of the AJAX/DHTML runtime.

Finally they signed up with sun to support Mobiles as well.
http://www.openlaszlo.org/node/342

Sun Microsystems Inc. the creator and leading advocate of Java™ technology, and Laszlo Systems,

Inc., the original developer of OpenLaszlo, a
leading open source rich Internet development platform, today announced a collaboration to enable

OpenLaszlo applications to run on devices supporting
the Java™ Platform, Micro Edition (Java ME) application. With this move, Sun and Laszlo are actively

contributing resources to a new project for the
OpenLaszlo community, code-named Orbit.

So I think Flash with OpenLaszlo is much better than using flex or ajax.

Google Maps here by OpenLaszlo


As for google Maps in Flash check it here ;)

Google Maps demo:

http://openlaszloincubator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/googlemapsonlaszlo/

So I guess OpenLaszlo is the way to go ;)

Thank you,
