I've been looking for an API that provides what JSwiff promises, but I'm concerned about how much functionality is provided in JSwiff....I am in the process of a building a UI abstraction framework and am interested in using JSwiff if it is up to the task for generation of flash dynamically for UI. How close is JSwiff to being full-featured?

Particularly I'm interested in if it can create all standard graphical components, support for images, draggable windows, events, and AJAX. If it can support all of this I would be very interested in using the API and potentially helping to support it.
The project I'm currently working on that I'm considering this for is: http://www.jseamless.org

hey darkfrog,
JSwiff 8 supports all Flash 8 features at a pretty low abstraction level (i.e. on SWF tag level). What it still lacks is an abstraction layer which enables drawing geometric primitives. Currently I'm working on that, but it's still in a very early stage (so your support is needed  ).
AJAX is JavaScript+XML. You can use Flash to do some browser/JavaScript interaction ( e.g. by using ExternalInterface in Flash 8 ), but generally, AJAX and Flash are competing technologies.
jSeamless looks interesting. One problem I'm having though is that I cannot download the files on your site using other browsers than IE (wrong content type?)

Hey Ralf, I sent you an e-mail in response.
I'm curious the best way to go about server communication in Flash if AJAX is not the typical solution in Flash. That is actually one of my primary goals is being able to communicate well between browser and server.
As for jSeamless that site is running on my own web server I created from scratch and I simply neglected to specify a mime-type for the JAR extension. :o
