Re: I am at the end of my rope

bcrounse,hi!

	1. the openlaszlo demo using "cool" skin just want to catch us eyes and make some visual effect,but in real
project, they(openlaslzo studio)or we never use such luxurious stuff.
see that:

    2. although,flash is not fit for everyone's taste,but,now, it is the only run time we could choose when
using openlaszlo, and if you wanna to copy and paste flash test, you can use inputtext control.

    3.many devolper say the lzx language is a little big "strange" and "alien",but this is just the feature of
openlaszlo,different from the traditional programming model, after all the language want to be a agile
develoment language.Also,you can find some infomation about your taget of "make the appearance of a widget
conditional on the value of a user cookie" at:

http://www.openlaszlo.org/lps/docs/guide/cookies.html
we have done the same task as your's getting http session infomation by using "dataset",it's src is a ".jsp"
file,so,this is not a big problem.

   some opinions of yours I agree, the platform's wide population and adoption need offical effort,because
people are new to OL need to confirm more relaibility and feasibility of it.So,more specific technical
articles and some consulting guides are strongly desired.That's just the shortage of Openlaszlo,also
the support of developoment community.

with regards
