I agree, Flash/Actionscript 3 makes a lot more sense then a compile
target, because AS3 has a very competent and highly evolved language
(based on the latest ECMA Script) and framework as well a a very fast
JIT compiler.
Not being a compiIe target, almost can see a third party vendor
providing such a RB -> AS3 output plugin if there is demand. My
personal RB use went down 50% after AS3 was released and now I use
Flash for free form UI prototyping of concepts and mobile
experiences, while I use RB for projects that have to look and feel
closer to the OS they are running on and for 3D.

Last week I had a 5 day course on Flex2.
Flex is compiling to Flash and it is awesome.
It would be very nice if RB is generating a mxml/as3 source wich
can be compiled with the free Adobe compiler.
I know, there are a lot of differences between the 2 frameworks,
but, a lot of things are possible.

No, its truly just using Flash as the GUI and not the OS, in fact,
its even using the Flash Lite player, which less powerful than the
regular Flash runtime. Either way, Flash definitely won over
java for in-browser apps, but thats about it. The Flash runtime
is great, but it is very small and focused for in-browser apps and
thats it. Its not really even capable of doing desktop apps on
its own, though there are numerous 3rd Party wrappers for the
flash player to help out on this, but even then, its still not
great. Its clearly not what Flash was designed for. Adobe is
trying to help in that area with a product called Apollo to be out
later this year, but thats another story.
I didn't chime in the last thread, but for lots of reasons, many
related to the above, it wouldn't be useful for RB to have Flash
as a compile target. I would be happy to elaborate off list if
anyone really cares, since this is a bit off topic and I don't
want to contribute to noise on our revived list anymore than i
already have.
