We have the code that compiles FXG into SWF assets.

I'm hearing it isn't in PS CS6.

Doubt it, but I can't speak for Adobe on these matters.

FXG has nothing to do with Flash. Flash has no idea how to process FXG.
The Flex compiler converts FXG into Flash assets. It can also convert SVG
into a bitmap or something. I'm not sure what Adobe gains by continuing to
spend resources on FXG support at this time. If you can show there would be
a significant upside, I will try to bring that case to the right people in
Adobe.
