A Lot...
1) running any swf files WITHOUT the need of Qucktime!!!
2) handling flash files WITHOUT a Flash projector!!!
3) manipulate swf files, which have been made in other tools which can 
export swf (a lot), in rev
  WITHOUT the need of Qucktime and WITHOUT a Flash projector...
Or its possible to run the projector in a rev card or in a textfile in 
a card?
If yes, please, please tell me how...
(f.e. Quarbon exports swf files (compressed) which could run from the 
disk the web or  any other medium, directly in rev. No matter if on the 
clients PC QT is installed or not...
4) running (converted to flash format) QT files also WITHOUT the need 
of Qucktime!!!

only some of the benefits just from the head...

Why do you need this when you can run swf files, prepared perfectly in 
other tool which are better than rev for that job, "natively" in rev?
Thats like have an "full featured" grafical html editor, replacing 
Photoshop, to manipulate al kind of images in the editor without the 
need of PH...
(We say in german to this kind of things: thats not fish nor meat..)

There are about 200 Mio Pcs out there in the world. Correct me if I m 
wrong. On about 30-50 Mio of them QT is installed. Thats a lot. But 
there are a rest of 150-170 Mio. I use rev for MM apps, because I dont 
have to think if the Enduser has QT installed, is able to do that or 
not...
If not I could use any of these real great QT tools...

just my 2 cents
