Absolutely!  I can think of numerous uses and abuses of this cool tool.

&lt;P&gt;As much as I hate to see web sites done in all-flash, I am very likely going to do this to my home page now....because I can...funky effects everywhere!!!  The fact that Chapter 9 on Ming is free, I'll buy the book if it proves useful.

&lt;P&gt;Looking at &lt;A HREF="http://todbot.com/ming/ming-examples/perl/button.pl"&gt;this&lt;/A&gt; example, it seems to imply Perl-ish callbacks can be used to generate Flash callbacks.  I'd love to learn what sort of evil-voodoo was used to accomplish this, I'm really in awe of what might be possible using this module.  (And definitely it's a savings from the cost and pain of using the official Flash product).

&lt;P&gt;I remember using the Macromedia SDK (C++) for a component of a Senior Design project, and this is infinitely more advanced.
