Fortunately, there are tools that do that. Don't underestimate the 
fantastic expense Macromedia has gone to in order to create, and 
maintain, their plugins.

You will also note that all the other applications that make SWF files 
(which are not Flash) are extremely limited in their scope - primarily 
animation, and simple interactivity. The full range of scripting SWF is 
really available to Flash alone.

Piggy-backing, as I've mentioned, would be pretty foolhardy, as it 
would be crazy expensive, and it would rely on Adobe/Macromedia not 
modifying the plug in.

Perhaps the people operating under the browser limitations are 
selecting the wrong tool, and then expecting (or desiring) the tool to 
change in ways that are pretty much impossible?
