I just installed OSAkit from another thread with the asteroid type shooter thingy and it worked great, and interested in the technology I installed OSAkit SDK. After which all the demo's on the site just crash.

I uninstalled OSAkitPlayer from control panel and went to the page detailed in step 2 above in IE and it's taking an age to load. The progress bar filled up but after that nothing happens. On eventually giving up and trying to close IE I just get a chime, even when I end tasked which eventually worked and was all quite messy.

After that I went to the page in Firefox 2 and it came up with an error (really sorry didnt make a note) which I ignored and subsequently the castles demo did not load.

It's a really interested technology, i'm interested both for my own hobby stuff but also for corporate stuff at work. I've been trying to pitch using technology like this to my boss for a while but he has remained unflexing and wanting to work in javascript for standards reasons - recently he's started to cool off the idea of using javascript and wants to experiment flash for a particular aspect of our work, so I may have another go at convincing him of this sort of technology by knocking up an example.

Ultimately are there any plans to make this work on Mac & Linux too?

Also, for what I have in mind I would want to make AJAX calls, are there any restrictions on this from the sandbox?

1- What OS do you have?
Vista Home Premium SP1
2- What browsers did try that on (IE, FF, Opera....) and what version?
