      Microsoft made something OSX compatible...? 😲

      The official SL support list is, I believe: IE 6/7/8, FF 2/3, Safari 3/4, and Chrome. Maybe Opera now too, or in the near future.

        What I'd like to experiment with now - that IE9b is out - is using SVG and canvas for the UI. Make a big fat canvas in the HTML page where I draw everything - attaching CSS and JS.

                Better than that would be if both those and WebDialogs were able to be docked into the SketchUp window frame. This is the part of SketchUp that makes me feel like I'm using Win95.

                  Someone was here - posted examples of how he'd managed to embedd SU toolwindows into the SU window frame - by using the Win32API. But unfortunately it was his first and last post.. 😞

                    I don't know if it's really too unfortunate -- even if you could manage to do that, it's way too much of a hack to consider for any production plugin. And even then, it would be Win32-only.

                        Yea - but it was an interesting project he had going. Shortlived as it was.

                            Just a guess, as I'm in no way a Flash guy, but I think you may be thinking of Flex, rather than AIR.

                            I have done it with Flex.

                            Flex inside WD
                            It does work very well under Windows. New versions of Action Script have security problem on Mac. Simply there was no communication between AS and JS inside WebDialog under OSX. I have reported it to Google, they taken this onboard.
                            It was taking too long to wait for them so I have abandoned this road and have done HTML+JS+CSS+DBS+FTE+HTE+KLM πŸ˜‰

                            The Flex solution was very nice and I regret that Google didn't help. The Flex has some nice build-in widgets, produces a single SWF file that contains whole GUI and controlling scripts. It also gives guarantee that it will look exactly same on both platforms. So many benefits.. almost everyone has Flash player installed nowadays.

                              Seriously, in what world are web dialogs a good option for UI. Please Google include a simple UI into the API...
