There's no denying it would be great to have full Flash available within
Rev/MC, though in my work I often find that the nature of a job drives what
used.  For example, projects that do a great deal of OS interaction usually
don't require powerful vector animation (in fact, users will say this gets
in the way of accomplishing their tasks).  Likewise, heavy animation
projects are often end results in themselves, without demanding OS
interaction.  Thus you might be find that in the overall scheme of things,
the work needed to achieve your goal is less than what you imagined.

Don't we all. :-)
