Yes Martin, that's pretty much exactly what I was thinking. I'd like to have Flash sending arbitrary SC code to sclang through http, which acts as a compiling service to scsynth. scsynth could then send info back through sclang or direct to Flash if needed. This could open up lots of possibilities for visual programming like Max and performance options like interpreting key strokes as live control commands. If we can get info out of scsynth [like instantaneous control bus values] then we can use that for visualization in Flash, which AS3 is great for. I'd like to eventually have a composition/performance solution that includes graphics and sound so I could do stuff like this live -> http://www.efnx.com/clients/AudioFriend
