By all means, please try it and post your results.  In my experience, if you
have more than few objects moving at the same time, you will get some
slowdown.

Moving one or two objects in Rev is OK, but generally Flash is much faster.
Flash was designed for animation since its beginning.  It treats almost
everything (except bitmaps) as vectors which is probably one of the reasons
for its speed.
