[screenweaver] Future directions

[Daniel McQuillen]

I've been using Screenweaver for an alpha version of an open-source 
eLearning project in the world of HVAC energy-efficiency. Our team has 
been really happy with the application except for one critical piece 
that's essential for our project: communicating with a local resource. 
We need to run a simulation engine locally alongside the 
Screenweaver/Flash app, and need to communicate rapidly with it in order 
to exchange simulation data.

We are trying to use the swInterface.callDLLMethod but are plagued by 
the restrictions on data types and the number of variables. This is a 
deal-breaker for us -- which is really unfortunately because I love 
working with Screenweaver. So, my question to the SW powers-that-be is: 
will the next version of Screenweaver have a more robust way to 
communicate with DLL's -- or perhaps .NET assemblies? If so, what is the 
target date for release? I don't see anything on the developers Wiki 
under roadmap or TO DO.

As always, thanks for putting your personal time into the project and 
making it available to the community at large.

- Daniel
