[Qt-interest] Qt vs Adobe Flash etc

[Jason H]

I *tried* to do what you are talking about but was told it was not possible.

So rather than be short, can we be constructive?

I was told the only way to accomplish it would be to write the Item in C++ and provide the appropriate bindings, then recompile the bindings. Whomever I talked to was either wrong, or I completely misunderstood.

So could you provide a simple example?

Thanks.

QtScript coders don't modify c++ code.

A pain, but you shouldn't have to recompile your C++ every time you want to make a new object. And with PyQt you don't.

You don't have to recompile your app every time a qscript guy wants a new qgraphicsview object.

It is.

QGraphicsViewItem doesn't

It doesn't.

Thats cool PyQt is a good project worth supporting.
