[osflash] Open Source GUI components

[John Grden]

First, we used to call "ollie's" "bunny-hops" - what happen to the slang??!

;)  That site works well Rob - nice work!

Man, if you have time to invest in helping out with refactoring the xray
interface, I'm all for it.  Basically, it's largely on my shoulders right
now, and for everything else, I can certainly refactor the classes, but the
interface itself and deciding on components is a huge issue especially since
the next revision HAS to be resizeable.

If you're seriously interested Rob, get with me off list to talk about where
your components are and let's see if we can't get something going.  If
that's not what you meant, then ignore what I just said ;)
