IMO, Flash is rendering-centric, and browsers have been text and interaction-centric and that difference is important. Browser's only allow generalized graphic rendering in certain places in the DOM, and those places do not currently have good interaction support. Shumway, and other similar attempts at SWF emulation seem to focused on simply doing Flash rendering in the places in the browser DOM that allow for it. The key thing about Flex is about interaction support like Focus and Accessibility. That's why FlexJS takes a different angle: it is about mapping MXML and AS to the text and interaction side of the browser, not about fancy rendering in a few places in the DOM. IMO, most RIAs need the interaction support way more than they need the rendering. > >It would be interesting to make comparisons between the two, in terms of >performance , even if they are not at the same level of completion. You will probably find that some graphic rendering is actually faster in the browser. JS can run certain loops faster than AS. -Alex
