swf runtime sdk?

[Chokito]

Are there any plans of releasing an extension sdk for the swf runtime?

[Jeff]

Its undergoing a bit of testing.

Would you like to be in the testing group?
You need to also know some C++ to create extensions as you need an authoring side also, not just an actionscript side.

[RhysD]

my mistake but can't wait for some new extensions to come out of it!

[Kanibal]

Its undergoing a bit of testing.

How long will be the testing period? Rough estimate would be nice. Days/weeks/months/half a year?

[James]

Why, is there any extension in particular you need to be developed?

[Kanibal]

I have no idea how to respond to that. Why do you need to know? Is that relevant? Are you implying that I don't need it? Do you think that flash have all extension that are needed? Do you think it's ok to answer a question with different question?

[Jeff]

I think Jamie was just asking if you needed an existing extension converted, perhaps he knows some more that are coming soon and was interested.

Uhm.. as an extension developer, I was wondering what you needed, considering it might already be in development. No need to take an aggressive tone.

Also - you need to write a C++ version of the extension before you can create a Flash version. Feel free to prove me wrong, but I'm pretty sure you've never written an extension before, and I can't see the Flash SDK being much use to someone who isn't an extension developer.

[Kanibal]

Then you should have phrased that better. I don't know you. And when someone I don't know answers my question with different question, which has no relevance, I automatically treat it as an insult. Feel free to prove me wrong by answering my initial question.

[James]

I can't answer your initial question - we don't know how long the testing process will take. You know fine well that the question I posted in response had relevance.

I don't understand why you're so interested in the SDK, considering you're not an extension developer. I like to think we're doing a pretty good job of porting extensions to Flash.

Jeff mentioned a testing group earlier in the thread. If you were really interested in the Flash SDK and you weren't just stirring, you would have asked about that instead.
