Hello all,
Just letting everyone know about a site I recently completed. The Flash version of the site utilizes a XMLRPC formatting and interface library written specifically for Flash, which can be downloaded at xmlrpcflash.dopelogik.com, and was pointed out to me by logictude. In my case I use it with a custom module that uses hook_xmlrpc to return specifically formatted data, but this library allows Flash to make calls to any Drupal function using hook_xmlrpc. Really powerful.
The library will cause the Flash player to choke when it is retreiving/formatting LARGE sets of data, but let me be the first to say that if a Drupal developer took the time to improve on the library and integrate it better into the Drupal environment, it would open up lots of potential for community sites with all or partial Flash front ends. Currently, it holds tons of potential for mini Flash-apps embedded in the Drupal context. In my context - a photography site - it works well because there is largely only one node type ever being retrieved.
Anyway, here are the links:

If there is a wait up front, that's because the client wanted minimal animation, so I had to pull down everything at once to avoid further load masking animations in the main site context. There's a time out if the connection is slow.
DDEV is the official local development tool of Drupal. And like Drupal, DDEV depends on the support of the open source community.
