From the outside looking in it would appear that jSeamless is all but dead, but if you've been paying attention to SVN commits you'll notice there's been quite a lot of activity for the past several months. I have somewhat abandoned what small community I had with jSeamless 1.0 in an effort to…
Read more →I've been working on an acceptable solution to display web pages within my Flex applications and as any of you know that have done any research on it will find, it's frustrating how lacking Flex is in support for this. The ideal solution would be for Flex to provide a fully functional component that…
Read more →My massive hack for native drag-and-drop in jSeamless Flex implementation is functional, but only in Firefox. Apparently there is an interesting "feature" in IE that even though you may sign your Applet and the user grants that they way to trust said Applet, it still never gives you read access to…

Read more →Okay, so this probably doesn't par up to the JFK assassination, those crop circles, or how in the world John Locke can survive a bullet in the chest, but it's starting to really bother me. I developed jSeamless with the intent of "seamlessly" bringing technologies together to make life easier on the…
Read more →No, in a good way. 🙂 We've been working through a lot of stress testing at work for jSeamless to prove that it can stand up to an unreasonable load only exceeded by getting "slashdotted. We have faired quite well and we're currently working to get the document released for public "consumption".…
