Assuming that all flash players still run ActionScript1 you could probably tweak one of these Ruby to Javascript converters to be a Ruby to ActionScript converter. Then at least you could write in Ruby and convert before publishing. The alternative would be to write a Ruby interpreter in ActionScript. Probably would learn a lot but it would take a lot of work and would probably be dead slow. ActionScript1 is not so bad though is it? It's basically Javascript - everyone's choice for client side coding :) - Byron ----- http://www.saltylabs.com/
