So, for once, my procrastination has paid off! A while back i was complaining, in the most polite way of course, about the lack of development of matchbox. A few days ago Zacharias released Matchbox RC1. He completely re-wrote it from the ground up and has made it 100% compatible with the latest Codeigniter release.
I downloaded the release candidate from http://codeigniter.com/wiki/Matchbox/, dropped it into a new branch of some projects that use the old version, and was off and running.
As i play with it more i plan to release some of our code like the AMFPHP library as self contained modules that can be dropped into an application.
Thanks again to Zacharias for all your hard work.
Phil
