1. What type of project was it? (eg. Online/off-line (eg.
> CD-ROM/kiosk)/sometimes-connected)


 Online

2. Which client-side technologies were you using? (eg. Flash IDE/Flex
> 1.5/MTASC, etc.)


Flash IDE and the AME part of FAMES

3. Which server-side technologies were you using? (eg. J2EE, PHP, .Net,
> Python, CF, etc.)


PHP

4. Which remoting application were you using? (eg. OpenAMF, AMFPHP, CF,
> etc.)


AMFPHP

5. Did your application use a socket connection or Flash
> Communication/Media Server? Which one and how? How easy/difficult was it
> to integrate? Notes/comments?


No

6. Did your application use JavaScript communication? (eg. Flash/JS
> integration kit, AFLAX, etc.) How easy/difficult was it to integrate?
> Notes/comments?


We use the Flash/JS intergration kit for the regular Floorplanner (
www.floorplanner.nl) so it's also in this custom version, but we're not
using it. The problem with using the kit had nothing to do with ARP, because
that part went very smooth. The problem was the poor documentation of the
Flash/JS kit. It took me quite a while to get things working

7. Were you using any Arp extensions? Which one(s)? Notes/comments?


No

> *General Questions*
>
> 1. What do you love the most about Arp 2?


The thing i like the most is the way it structures my applications.

2. What do you hate the most about Arp 2?


It has quite a steep learning curve (for me anyway), but when you master it
it's great. Oh, could you remove the traces in the code :-)

3. What is the single most important feature/enhancement you would want
> to see in Arp 3?


I'd like to see an improved workflow when using external forms (registering
etc) and a standard way to communicate between those forms.

4. At a minimum, Arp 3 aims to support RIA development with the Flash
> IDE, Flex 1.5, Flex 2, AS 2, MTASC, AS 3, J2EE/OpenAMF and PHP/AMFPHP.
> Does this cover your needs? Have we missed anything?


Sounds perfect.

5. Everything else: Other features, enhancements you'd like to see,
> general thoughts, anything that we missed in the questions above...


Maybe something like an EventQueue/EventStack for the Controller. When i
dispatch two events at (almost) the same moment, none of the two events gets
handled. It would be great if the events are put in an queue or a stack and
handled one by one, so i don't have to keep track of my event-dispatching
(or am i doing something wrong?).

I hope that you'll find my feedback usefull, and i'm excited to see other
ARP-based applications. Keep up the good work!
