Well, I had an idea a few weeks ago, and it's prompted me to further investigate the new "live" web that's just around the corner. I've decided to invest in HTML5 for the future development, and remembered you guys with the changeover from CS classic.

Anyways, after purchasing the business license today, I must say I'm already very excited with the ease of plugin development, and the power that the software provides.

I'd like to start by releasing my first of hopefully many plugins aimed at Web Application developers (but also useful for Game Developers).

It is a modification of the original AJAX plugin, that allows you to supply POST data to a url. I created this because it appears there is no existing plugin for this.

Edit by Ashley: this third party plugin's features are now built in to the official AJAX object. You should not use the third party plugin any more.

My next plugin will likely be for setting and retrieving cookies.

Just a quick question: how many of you are using PHP/MySQL? Would it be worthwhile developing plugin + PHP combos that can act together? What if we had something such as a MySQL plugin that only needed a .php file to exist with your construct app on the live server? Would these pre-programmed solutions make sense for you?

In either case -- count me in on exciting development. There is however one thing that concerns me, and that is the lack of a simplified pre-HTML 5 run time. I have a question relating to this - is there any way to get the basic runtime to work with preHTML? It doesnt matter to me if things like sprites etc. do not work, but does construct require a canvas in order for its basic engine to run?

If it could run without the need for the fancy HTML5 stuff, it could be very very useful immediately (and I would be willing to create many many plugins right off the bat)
