Well, more like this:
<game width="640" height="400" backgroundColor="#000000">
<scene width="10000" height="400" backgroundColor="blue" tickRate="30">
<layer background="clouds.png" scrollSpeedX="3" />
<layer>
<instance objectRef="coin" x="35" y="56" />
<instance objectRef="mario" x="0" y="0" />
<instance objectRef="brick" x="100" y="100" />
</layer>
</scene>
<object id="coin" points="100">
<behavior type="collectMe" />
</object>
<object id="mario" points="0" spriteRef="marioSprite">
<behavior type="run">
<property name="speed" value="10" />
</behavior>
<behavior type="jump">
<property name="height" value="100" />
</behavior>
</object>
<sprite id="marioSprite" source="mario.png" numFrames="12" frameWidth="32"
frameHeight="32" />
</game>
A quick toy example, but that's the basic look-n-feel of the XML right now.
We're also developing an equivalent to the Flex Form Designer geared
specifically toward "level editing" for lack of a better word.
Oh, and while it's all built on Flex/Flash, it's not dependent on them (it's
not literally MXML)... its a generic "HTML" for 2D games that can be served
to any game "browser".
Just think of the mash-ups! ;-)
