Hello,
Another potential JS-Flash area would be Sound. Since Javascript does
not support sound and browser support is not complete or consistent,
it can be done similar to the Charts component, ie a Flash based
sound engine that is completely controlled from Javascript. This can
further be combined with other YUI components, such as the slider
(for volume control) to produce rich components.
Such libraries/components already exist and do a good job but one
integrated in YUI would be great. Otherwise, we can build great
interactive AJAX applications but no way add sound for things like
alerts/notifications.
Thanks
