Life can be different :-)
it makes perfect sense to me, that you want to embed / play swf inside
java (Flash Player 8 on Linux - 'natch' ?)
what i don't get it why you make it SO complicated ? Who is your target
audience ? Java-Programmer, or JS-Programmer or Flash Programmer ? ???
or was it simply: it can be done, so we did it ?
The target audience may be Java-Programmers and Flash-Programmers and the JS-Programmers are just glue-coders but that all depends on your developing model. Think about the senario when we want to build a project that has great multimedia-powered UIs. We are eager for presentations Flash provides but we also need to use powerful Java libs.
Ok, we can use OpenAMF and an application server for that, but these are not comfortable. Firstly, the calls are asynchronous. Secondly, all calls should travel to and from the network stack. Thirdly, the value objects that are passed between Flash and Java should be designed carefully.
Now all the calls can be synchronous by using External Interface and the calls are native (no network stack latencies). The Rhino engine glues two runtimes smoothly.
Then, think about the developing model. Thanks to Aflax and abundant Java libs, we can make Flash and Java to be libs that can be called in JS. So we can do all the work purely in JS -- call Aflax to do animations and call Java libs to do logic.
I hope my explanation is clear for you...

for whatever this is worth for: yeah! keep it coming.
