flash MX has added a version of the advanced sorenson codec that apple loves so much

so yes... plash = vector graphics...

Flash MX has added the ability to embed video into it.... there was a whole lawsuit planned since apple has a deal with sorenson that only they get it's advanced codec....

sorenson said that apple and flash don't compeate...

blah blah blah

so its basically a sorenson encoded quicktime file

So why not just use Quicktime with the Sorenson Video codec and spare your audience the Flash baggage?

I mean, I can play Quicktime/Sorenson videos on any machine I have, at a more-or-less guaranteed framerate, while Flash is, at best, iffy...
