Yeah it's a pain.
The whole design of the system is a bit weird.
Flash operator panel is still the best I've used.

Unfortunately this isn't hybrid. In any case I think I'll leave it for a
while until its a finished product. The server requires too many hacks
to get it running for it to be production ready.

For the life of me I don't understand why they wouldn't release the
source code for the hudlite server so we can fix these things. They can
always keep the client closed source since that is where the real value
is anyhow.

On the forum people have been posting about these problems since January
with no hint of any fixes coming.
