I like Flash... I think some stuff is impressive as hell. It's just that considering the huge amount of work that's been done standardizing svg... fitting it into one zillion and one other specs and getting the whole mess to work together... I don't see how flash can really keep its hold... I think things will eventually move to SVG.
Maybe, if folk could just move actionscript to XML?
