It has a java-like language, webservice connectors, databind-components (grids etc.), and RMI for java and .net. It's just beautiful :o) but also very underrated (atleast in Denmark anyways...) MM also just released MM Flex (beta release) which is like asp.net done the right way (no HUGE post-backs). It allows for run-time compiling of flash code using eg. java beans, and at the same time allows for doing advanced processing on the client (as desc. above). In other words: a smart client with with zero deployment. MM has some nice streaming media presentation on their site that I recommend you check out. God! I sound like a MM sales rep. don't I?? :o) Macromedia Flash is the way to go! It has a java-like language, webservice connectors, databind-components (grids etc.), and RMI for java and .net.

It might be nice to abandon the asynchronous request-response model. And for web applications, it's not like you have to be index-able by search engines. Though accessibility could still be a concern. Yeah, one of these days I’ll have to check out Flash. It might be nice to abandon the asynchronous request-response model.
