Gordon, a flash runtime written in javascript, is an interesting project that recreates the Flash Player into svg using javascript from a flash source swf file.
UPDATE: Also check out smokescreen for the same, html5/javascript interpreting SWF files.
This is an interesting direction. There are most likely many things that do not work about this approach for existing content. But it is also a neat way to create new content that might be simple enough to play on desktop and a mobile version.
All these examples work on an iPhone or iPod Touch.
