Well, Thermo will fit your bill there, if you're trying to make a Flash/Flex site. But it hasn't been released yet, so... But I want to bring up another point... I think it's very important that a prototype *not* be turned into the functional site. In a prototype, you really shouldn't be building all sorts of functionality. You should be faking it. Changing design takes so much less time and money than changing functional code that to intend a prototype for eventual production negates the money-saving value of prototyping.
