The Flex-Ajax-Bridge is a library which exposes Flex application to scripting within the browser. As stated on the Adobe Labs wiki:

After you insert the library, essentially anything you can do with ActionScript, you can do with JavaScript.

We introduced the Flex-Ajax-Bridge in our talk Mixing Ajax, Flash and Swing. It seems Adobe has now decided how they want to distribute it: They moved it out of Life Cycle Data Service 2.5 (limited free use only) and into Flex SDK 3 beta. Which is certainly good news.

And there is more Ajax support: With Ajax Data Service Adobe provides Flex Data Management Services capabilities (pushed updates, conflict management, lazy loading, and direct integration with back-end domain models) for Ajax applications. Ajax Data Service is available in Adobe® LiveCycle® Data Services ES.
