Talk:Flash

This is a very nice piece of work - it does a comprehensive job of rendering all the node styles I can think of and it loads much quicker than the freemind applet. The look and feel of the rendered map will feel very familiar to a freemind user. Great stuff!

Very impressive and useful.... but has some issues

Yes I agree. This has the tremendous advantage of increasing the audience to freemind maps since I'd venture to say more home PC's have Flash installed rather than Java.

A minor point: The Flash nodes have visual queues (attached semi-circles) on parent nodes so readers instantly knew children nodes were below it. I think this would be a very good idea for the Java object to employ.

Now I know the Flash object is a prototype, but I thought I'd mention the problem I was having. Actually all I know is that after a certain point in gradually adding info to my mindmap the flash object had a issue loading it. Freemind and the java applet had no problem by the way.

I am purely guessing at possibly causes due to the content of my document. Its size is only 300k. It had some nodes with quite large text containing C code. Some nodes contains smallish sized xml text conforming to our own schema.

So I think there a still some things to iron out.

But once sorted, will be sweeeta.

Nice work. Keep it up.
