Yep. You can do virtually anything with Javascript remote scripting and DHTML
that you can do with Flash remoting. And browser support for JS and DHTML is
now pervasive and consistent enough that it's no longer the problem it was a
few years back. Also lightweight and non-proprietary. On the plus side for
Flash though is that you don't expose your client side source code, if that's
critical for you.
