Long time ago, there where a discussion (Sean and John McNally) here
about generating Flash with screens. I wonder if somebody is working on
it or has something done since this discussion.
I am actually starting to work on a MimeScreen which allows to create
arbitrary content. This Screen may be extended to a FlashScreen. It will
have some function to set the mime-type.
I will implement the mechnism described by Sean in its mail:

So, should I make the modification directly in the base page to handle
this (org.apache.turbine.modules.Page) or should I inherit from it.
I think that it may be a good feature to add to the base Page, since one
may often need to generate smth else than HTML (PDF, SWF, gif, jpg, ...)
Any comment ? ([VOTE])
