I just wanted to let everyone know that this just an open source competitor to the Adobe Flex product. Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Flex is an extremely capable RIA (Rich Internet Applicaiton) toolset that runs within the Flash platform.
Adobe Flex 2.0 delivers an integrated set of tools and technology enabling developers to build and deploy scalable rich Internet applications. Flex provides a modern, standards-based language supporting common design patterns and includes a client runtime, programming model, development environment, and advanced data services.
The latest version (Flex 2.0 Beta 3), available at http://labs.adobe.com/, is freely available to everyone (Although you will need to pay for the development IDE from macromedia if you want it).
At the core of Flex 2.0 is the Flex framework, which is included with Flex Builder and will also be distributed in the free Flex Software Development Kit (SDK). Using only the free Flex SDK, you can commercially deploy Flex applications that connect to XML and SOAP web services with no additional costs or server licensing required.
I don't know about everyone else, but I'd rather go with a free framework from the people that created flash, rather than a framework from people that just use flash.
I don't know if any has posted this yet, but http://www.bungie.net/ usese some really impressive CSS. The page overlay is something that simply cannot be done with traditional table-based layout.
