Yes it is possible - and in fact I want to do exactly this too. The plan
I have is to have a special Screen subclass (FlashScreen) from which all
my screen classes that need to generate text for flash get derived. Then
I derive from DefaultPage and check to see if the screen is a
FlashScreen - if it is then the screen is invoked directly bypassing
layouts/navigations, otherwise the superclass stuff gets invoked (all
the HTML preparation).
Then its's just a matter of writing out to data.getOut() and setting the
content-type appropriately.

Are you using Blue Pacific's Turbine product? It's a source of perpetual
confusion in our project that we use two products called Turbine :-)
