Zinc 3.0

Hey!

Yes, a long time has passed since the last post. So here I am.

I am using Zinc 3.0 for a project, and here is my report of it.
In a few words, I can say that it is good, but not better than Adobe AIR.
It is a little complicated in the beggining, cause doesn`t have documentation. The only doc available is here, and it doesn’t  help so much.

To give an example, If I don’t do this:
mdm.Application.init(MovieClip(this), onInit);
The functions that I will execute will not work, but it will not throw me any error.
I have spent a considerable time to discover that I need to initiliaze the mdm classes.

When you have all configured, and familiared with the Zinc, it is kind’a easy to use. A lot of things you do in the Zinc Builder, on graphic mode. I guess the main problem of Zinc is the documentation, cause I think you can do everything with it, you just have to know how. Another problem is that there are not a lot of users, so this turns the thing a little bit complicated when you need some help.

Well, if someone has some question about it, just post here.

Thanks!

    Thanks for the post, helped me realise i had to import any mdm classes before using them, obvious when someone points it out, but because the setup docs are so sparse i wasted a couple of hours figuring it out.
