Yep, know about Flex and don't want to use Flex. What I want is something that is similar to Flex (or XAML)
but is interpreted at runtime in the Flash player. This gives me the ability to deploy it on any server and
also to write applications without the Flash IDE. I've built something similar in IE with
Javascript/CSS/XML/XSLT and it works splendid (apart from being a memory hog) and now I want to try the
concept in Flash to get it to more users (and platforms) and also, hopefully, more useful in terms of performance.
