Just to speak for all of those companies, much of this happened at the Flex= summit.

Within that context, many companies said the= y would contribute compiler engineering resources to move along the effort,= finish the MXML piece and work on the JS piece.

This is not a comment on when we received the code... just a de= fense to the many well intentioned companies who are likely no longer here = to speak for themselves. Mike
