Dynamic - yes.
Pain - no.

Remember though - what I have done is only a proof-of-concept. I would
expect it to be much easier in the 'real' version.

As for revealing all.. it's a simple P.O.C. - open a socket connection
to Flash, and call methods that allow you to create Movie Clips (what
are normally called widgets). You also have direct access to the newly
released Drawing API (basically if you can describe it mathematically
and it's not too complex, you can tell Flash to draw it).

Another core concept is that Flash has built in event handling, methods,
and properties. Recieving an Event when the user changes the state of a
Text Field object is already built in.

It just make's sense... and I'm not knocking all of the other tools out
there - I'm just saying it's easy and friendly like Ruby.
