Hi Alex, sorry for the late response. I didn't mean to use the same code base for the SWF and the HTML components, but only the same programming language: ActionScript! Of course you would still have to learn different low-level APIs (DisplayList versus browser DOM/BOM), but at least you could use the same language and the higher level constructs from AS3 like packages, classes, interfaces and the superior IDE support that exists for ActionScript.
