Ming and PHP not through a browser: Real-time client side applications?

Hi all,

Just had a random thought... does anyone here remember the PHP-GTK 
project, whereby they use PHP for creating client side applications 
through the GTK.

Well, I'm wondering if it'd be possible for creating client side Flash 
applications with Ming.  Like, running PHP on the client side, with Ming 
compiled in to generate the Flash in real-time (i.e. pull data from a 
database then display it in 3D, etc).  Somehow it'd have to launch and 
then feed into a player and that bit I'm not sure about.

Not hard to launch a player, but how to get the player to play the flash 
file being generated... ?

Maybe output to a temp file.swf and launch a standard Flash player with 
the path to the generated file?

Hmmm, might not be that hard after all.

This is interesting.  Anyone here familiar with the self executable 
flash player for Linux and be able to give some insight as to whether 
this might work?

:)

Regards and best wishes,
