Hello,

  Guy Watson has written up a series titled "Extending
Flash MX 2004" published on the DevX site.

  In Part 4 Guy explores the basics of Mozilla XUL — a
markup language for defining user interfaces - in an
article titled "Solving UI Problems with XUL".

   Guy writes:
  
   The fine engineers at Macromedia have included
cross-platform dialog boxes for use in your Flash
Extensions in the form of a XML 2 UI Engine. This
engine parses and displays dialog boxes—defined using
an XML formatted language called XML2UI.

   XML2UI is a subset of XUL (pronounced "zool"), an
XML User Interface Language created by Mozilla. Only a
small amount of the XUL elements and their associated
attributes have been implemented in XML2UI.

PS: If anyone has tried out XML2UI let us know how it
goes and how it comparse to Zulu or Flex/MXML, for
example. As always please post your comments to
xul-talk. (If you respond to this posting just change
