Thanks, Ashley, I'll check that out. I was fuzzy on how I could use PHP to generate a static file with event-based dynamic content.

if you want to write a flash game you'll have to write lots of actionscript,
and debugging that will be impossible if your write it all as simple [php] strings
which your passing into Ming.

your going to need Flash or some free Flash dev env (like FlashDevelop, as Ashley suggested,
assuming its upto the job)

If you're trying to be cheap and/or Open Sourcy about it, have a look at
OpenLazlo. It's an XML/JS framework, all open source, that compiles to SWF
and plays in a normal Flash 9 browser plugin.

I've only recently started looking into it, but it looks impressive.

And of course I should probably include a link:
