Judy,
I believe one problem is that there is no public API for embedded Flash support. Last I checked, it requires paying a hefty license to Macromedia for a development kit. Implementing from scratch is a huge task also- notice that they aren't really any 3rd party Flash Players (even Quicktime's support is always a little behind the curve).
FWIW. I haven't looked into this in a while.
The only reasonable way I know of to support Flash would be to offer up support for browser plug-ins.
Does anyone know of a dev environment that _does_ include embedded Flash playback in a desktop app?

I gotta admit, I still don't get this.
Flash is perhaps the preeminent 2D animation file format; probably overtaking Director?
Not "getting" Flash or providing some native support for it positively cripples Rev as a multimedia scripting environment.
And I don't even USE Flash (beyond trying to get together a little handout
on doing simple animation in it for my class).
I recently revisited the Animation Builder. Didn't really suck all that
much, did it? No Flash, certainly, but without native support for Flash,
what is the simple DreamCard developer wishing to include animation to do?
And now they don't even have that (the Animation Builder, that is)...
