I had the opportunity to mess about with some new AS3 libraries a few days ago. After doing this basic experiment I figure that a bold statement is in order. I reckon what BitmapData did for Flash 8, the ByteArray will make up for Flash 9. Ok so myabe not so bold and a little bit late but ByteArray is defintely powerful.

It's not like Flash has the best form reputation on the web. I am constantly finding myself trying to argue the case for use of Flash forms as I find it better to integrate in some of the sites I build. However, I have absolutely no grounds to stand on when it comes to usability/accessibility. What is up with Flash form elements? Why are they not behaving as they should. Even Flex for that matter - the scrollbars are slower than your average browser scrollbar. Really when will this be sorted?
