I'd like to have a ruby -> swf compiler. ActionScript is painful--it
combines the worst of java and javscript.

That is interesting, though it is far from a ruby -> swf compiler.
AFAICT ming is not suited to building a complex UI like flex.

Long ago there was the IronMonkey project to run IronRuby and IronPython on
Tamarin, the ActionScript virtual machine via bytecode translation. It's
long since gone by the wayside, as far as I can tell:

Copy that.
Concering Javascript I was once dreaming of Client Side Ruby too. But
I got pretty much acquainted to Javascript. After all I prefer
prototype over class inheritance ;). The syntax is a pain, but
Prototype, Moo, JQuery and friends kind of easy that.

Cheers
