"""You don't and you shouldn't compile flash on a request basis. """ I wasn't suggesting that. I was suggesting a tool to prebuild swfs in a browser (to supplement not replace the Flash/Flex tools, which require a large learning curve to do anything). Then, have a library of content (swfs, aud

I'll second Patrick's opinion. It's an interesting idea, but I doubt it will be practical at all to put together classes at the backend and make that into an application somehow. You're probably better off developing modules, precompiled swf with functionality and a shell loading what modules you

I work as a Flash Developer and Django Programmer. You don't and you shouldn't compile flash on a request basis. You should make your flash app smart enough that you can give it some parameters or let it talk with the backend with something like django- amf. Then it can load images, mp3 etc. or

I was thinking of A - D, for Django serving information for Flash also. But mainly I was thinking of... E. Compiling Flash content ahead of time with a Python web framework. Basically, creating a browser based environment to create content (supplementing, not replacing the Flash/Flex/etc tools).

I think there is a general reticence to move into this area, given Django's roots in web publishing, where HTML is the lowest common denominator. I can't speak on behalf of any of the developers, but I'd imagine that the news organisations which Django grew from were more concerned with tradition

Using Django to generate Flash/Flex content

I was wondering if there was any work on the web to use Django to generate Flash and Flex content, instead of HTML content? Flash is rapidly evolving into a more technologically advanced web display technology. HTML rules for text, but is pretty much useless for displaying other sorts of ideas
