I did another test last night. I've got a flash file exported to QT 
with buttons that show/hide elements of a scrolling animation, and 
another slider button that controls the playing of the animation. Rev 
1.1 is VERY slow recognizing the button presses (up to several seconds 
to respond to mouse down or up), both in authoring and in the 
executable on the Mac, but it does recognize them. Rev 2 beta is quite 
responsive (as responsive as QuickTIme player) in authoring. Didn't try 
in an executable or on the PC. I'll continue testing.

If Rev is able to support QT and I can use some relatively tricky 
animations (replicating movie clips for animated text, etc.) then I'd 
have the best of all worlds -- an elegant development tool and 
sophisticated animation capabilities. Is there anybody else out there 
thinking along these lines and using Rev in this way?
