Hello everyone, sorry for not posting here for a little wile, had
really a lot of things to handle.

I wanted to bring some light on what we are Skitsanos Labs going to
bring into "Aswing Extensions" after having many tricky issues solved

I spent quite a while with experimenting loading different kinds of
data into my application, was experimenting with Flex and pure AS3/
Aswing, first thing that i discovered is that processing xml data and
Loader in my own way is 50Kb less (of final swf output) than i was
doing the same thing in Flex. Don't ask me why, you are all know my
vision regarding Flex...

Was quite a pain to see application size jumped like this just for
nothing, all i needed is to have xml data loaded remotely and operate
with this data deserialized into object oriented structure. Well, as i
just mentioned, - i made it and it works totally fine. So no things as
HttpService required anymore, you don't need it for your Aswing
application.

Another thing, some of you maybe faced some weird problem where you
load image or whatever else resource from remote server and you app
blows off with some security error, that you need some policy or
whatever else crap, but same resource could work if you do it in Flex.
There are some tricky things happening behind the scenes.

Point is that when you do some data loading via Loader, flash player
might restrict you from doing it with firing security error, but if
look carefully, data actually loaded and available as Bytes Array,
next thing you can do is throw this bytesarray into another loader
with loadBytes() method. And after all you have any kind of data
loaded into your application even if initially player didn't wanted to
do so.

I'm sure it is not only thing with what you can trick restrictions of
the player.

I will post few samples a bit later.

Cheers,
Evi Skitsanos.
