Igor Dimitrijevic just released his open-source Flash Text Formatter, a wonderful generic syntax highlighter that uses keyword definitions in XML. Using it is very easy, you just pass the name of the source file you want to highlight and the XML keyword definition you want to use through flashvars and FTF displays it beautifully in Flash with line numbers and syntax highlighting.

FTF also comes as a WordPress plugin -- another reason to switch to WordPress.

For more information, see Igor's blog post.
