Hi Aaron,

Correct me if I'm wrong but in the current spec, SCOs (in the example I 
gave, SWFs) would have to be able to communicate with the LMS directly 
and what we're calling the shell (which in our example looks like a 
bundled SCO) would also have to communicate with the LMS. All through 
JavaScript.

Now, I was thinking about an all-Flash LMS. That's not possible today 
because SCOs cannot communicate with Flash via JavaScript and cannot 
directly communicate with an application server via JavaScript.

I just can't help but think how cool it would have been if they had 
used, for example, web services instead.

I hear that! Here's to Pizza Day :)
