IMHO, this sounds like an elephant trying to pass itself off as a butterfly. Flash/Flex and HTML/JavaScript have completely different rationalle and Use-Case; just as PHP/Drupal, Python/Django, and Scala/MongoDB have theirs. In my Yoga class last night, Yogi told us 'the essence of being is just to be, regardless'. Perhaps he was on to something. Regards, Bryan Hunt
