It might (I haven't tried it), but that would mean building the majority of
the player in Flash.  I would then have to question why use Rev at all?

The one benefit Rev has over Flash at this point is interaction with the
desktop.  Flash prevents much of this kind of interaction by design
(security), so unless there was some limitation of being unable to
write/move files around the drive, one might be better off just building the
entire player in Flash.

Either way, using Rev as a player requires the use of 2 technologies: Rev +
QuickTime or Rev + Flash.  That's unfortunate.
