I m also using Flash as a frontend, for a complex form generation + Cocoon with flow (based on linotype)
for storage in file based XML repository and aggregation.
I agree with you Bertrand, the combination is really a killer, since the Flash player offers XML parsing and
generation capabilities (with support for XPath directly built-in the player since FP7.0). I could write a little
overview of the possible architectures if anyone is interested in playing with this kind of things.
Yes, please do. In general it looks like some return of the thick-like client is happening - since MS, Mozilla and Macromedia are all working on offerings. Cocoon is well positioned to not only produce content for these three and others, but bridge them and provide fallback html-only views. This is just "multi-channel" of a different sort and could be a strong suit for us.
This may also be an application of Cocoon which the US is ready to pay attention to.

Thanks Robert, this is very interesting.
I'm currently using Flash, remote-controlled from java code, for an interactive exhibition display project and the combination is killer, I'm sure we will hear more about this!
