Valetia,

There are some limitations. I've run tests in 1.1.1 and 2 pre-beta 
(though not the very latest) and uncovered some quirky behavior. 1.1.1 
ran animations VERY slowly, but handled mouse actions well. V2 ran 
animations well, but took the SWF within Rev took several seconds to 
respond to mouseDown actions, I still haven't figured out how to pass 
commands from an SWF within Rev to the Rev player (as you can with an 
SWF in Director using Lingo, or a browser using JavaScrip, with the 
getURL command).

So if you're just using flash to create motion onscreen, you should be 
OK. If I could get Rev to see these commands from an SWF as QT I can 
see Rev being a really useful tool for me -- Flash as modular eye 
candy, with the ease and cross-platform capabilities of Rev.
