Markup language that generates Flash

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Converting Flash into standard web technologies (html 5, css, javascript). Or using existing Flash authoring tools to create AJAX apps. I'm not sure this service is solving the right problem...

agreed. flash is a pain to handle with crawling and indexing. would love to see a trend away from flash, not to it.

On the other hand dynamically generated Flash captcha is a pain in the ass to crack.

Image captchas suck, period. I'm not sure if there's a better way to distinguish humans from bots, but forcing people to parse an image of distorted letters and type them into an input box is lousy for usability/accessibility no matter how you slice it.
