[osflash] creating swfs on the server

[Tyler Larson]

Just use the mxmlc and create a script to call it and send it what you  
need. It's fast and relatively simple to setup command line  
copulation, there is many ways to set this up but I would just use  
whatever scripting language to create actionscript files and compile  
that.

About the others, Swfmill is old, ming is older, Haxe you can do it  
but I dont know enough about it to help you.
