I was just discussing this exact idea with a friend yesterday (although it's something I personally wouldn't be interested in). If done correctly, you could backend to HTML5+JS+CSS and still emit SWF for legacy support. Would certainly be interesting.

Good luck making your own SWF creator or player without stepping on an Adobe patent.

  There's no need to create a player; as far as the creator goes, Adobe's already released the free mxlmlc so you could simply generate ActionScript and let them compile it.

I heard about OpenLaszlo - http://www.openlaszlo.org/ http://www.openlaszlo.org/ - a few years ago, but I never got around toworking with it. It emitted Flash & Dynamic HTML.

  It's pretty good. Definitely better than Adobe's tools for code. The art still has to be made in Flash though. Unless there is some compelling reason to use Flash though, open tech (like AJAX) wins every time.
