Hey all,
I have a project at work were I need to port our current web based training framework over to flash and I am trying to figure out the best approach.

framework overview:

Uses jQuery as it's JS framework
It pulls in its site structure via xml which in turns points to their respective pages
The pages are pulled in via ajax
Each page may have one functionality or another which is implemented when the page loads and jQuery will selected a link and image or what via a selector and bind some event to it.
Some events/affects that may be triggered

Thickbox opening
a inline quiz is build



What I would like to do is at least keep our html the same, pull it into flash/flex/actionscript and then execute the appropriate events based on links and content that is pulled in.

Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks.

You're likely to find that flash's html support is too basic for your needs. If you migrate this to flash, either you need to use flash as some sort of navigation element, where the real content is still in the browser, or you'll need to rewrite the gui in flash / actionscript.

What is the reason you need flash integration?
