That's a nice idea.

They even have their website set up so that you can see most of the examples
without having Flash installed, which is a nice touch.  (Unlike the TChart
folk -- why do people /do/ that... ?)

I remember sitting around a big table some years ago trying to think of a new
product to re-invent the failing company I was then working for.  We had LOTS
of kit, some decent talent, some money in the bank, but what to do with it...
I suggested tools for creating thin-client UIs in Flash, but nobody liked the
idea much.  We wouldn't have been able to do it anyway, but its nice to think
that the idea hasn't died completely.
