Yes, this is the scene graph approach. This is basically SVG, a 
hierarchy of transforms, shapes and interactive nodes. A retained 
mode version of Display Postscript. Although OpenInventor has a 
more powerful model, perhaps (Coin3D is freely available as a 
starting point).

The Flash model is formalized as as a DOM in StageXL:

Another scene graph that was used in X11 servers is PHIGS.
