Put it on the desk: HTML runner

[Jeff Xiong]

The reason why we need an HTML runner is that numerous SWF rely on
ExternalInterface -- both calls and callbacks. Some of those just
don't work without appropriate ExternalInterface support. Although I
don't believe that's the best way to develop Flex applications, it
turns out we would be well-advised to enable those SWFs to run in our
testing tool.

So basically we need an HTML page which hosts Tester and AUT in it.
For any ExternalInterface call and/or callback, we provide some
approach to allow the user to specify mock/stub for it. Last but not
least, it must be easy to use.

Above is my quick thoughts. Ideas? Suggestions?

Another approach would be re-wrapping ExternalInterface so that we
could ensure AUT works stand-alone.
