OT: Rev to Flash translation

[Dave Cragg]

As others have said, ActionScript is quite different from Rev. But if  
your client is going the Flex route, it may be possible to translate  
the interface components. Flex uses XML for component layout, and in  
theory at least, it should be possible to map Rev components to the  
Flex equivalent. (It may even be possible to create "placeholders" for  
script elements.) Whether the result would be of practical use is  
another question. If your interface is simple, it's probably not worth  
the trouble. (And if it's complex, I guess the results may be less  
useable.)

An interesting project, even if just to prove it's impractical. Has  
anyone tried this before?

Cheers
Dave
