Thanks Christofer for bringing that up, as I'm in the same situation!
So, if noone minds, I'll jump in the thread to see whether I'm taking
the right path. I can start a new thread if you don't want me to
pollute yours :)

I'm developing web games, pure HTML + server-side langage (PHP, Ruby on
Rails, ...) up until now, but I'm starting to wonder if I can really go
without Flash to get something that really feels interactive.
Javascript and Ajax can do some client-side magic but I want to see
what Flash has to offer.

I'm not going towards mini-games, rather big game system with lots of
classes and code behind, and I still wonder if Flash is not better
suited for mini-games. But I guess that puts it somewhere between
interactive animation and full application.

Developer. Quite concerned with web standards, so I always had something
against Flash (poor accessibility, poor SEO), but I may be starting to
change my mind.


I discovered OSFlash some days ago and followed the nice tutorial at
http://osflash.org/projectsetup
I was able to compile my Application.as file in classes.swf using
MTASC, and to get the final app.swf using Swfmill (yay!)
But the result is not perfect: I do see the image set in the Swfmill
XML input, but not the text set in the AS code... I downloaded the full
project at the end of the tutorial, where app.swf was compiled by the
author, and I have the same problem - is that my Flash player being
dense?

And, apart from this small problem, am I starting the right way? Are
there other useful ressources to look at? I was planning to go on with
http://swfmill.org/doc/using-swfmill.html which has some timeline
info, but I will still need something about interaction.

I also don't know whether I can keep working with only MTASC + Swfmill,
as I'm not an Eclipse fan so the full FLAMES doesn't appeal to me yet.

Thanks,
Karine
