MXML-G - An XML abstraction of the Flash Player drawing API (and then some)

In Deepa’s talk @ 360 in Atlanta she also goes over MXML-G… which is really just a beautiful abstraction of Flash’s drawing API using XML.

It’s very cool. Very handy for rapid prototyping and skinning.

Thermo is essentially an eclipse plugin that heavily leverages MXML - G.

Update: I talked to Deepa… she mentioned that it actually includes “more” than the drawing API currently offers…
