Or you could write a virtual OpenGL wrapper for Molehill. Wouldn't be too
difficult actually.

Flash doesnt have the purpose to transit OpenGL functions. But if you
need some specific functions you can discuss them with Adobe team.
YOu can create a separated topic and in future releases they will be
implemented.

Yeah. Currently Molehill doesn't support all of the functionality I was
expecting, so I'm transitioning my project over to native OpenGL. Flash
just
isn't quite ready yet, and there's no standard way to even capture the
mouse
cursor, or set the screen resolution.

So latest GPU cards supports even C++
But we cant use all of its possibilities in Flash, we can use only
methods of ActionScript which use GPU.
I think in future Flash will evolve to larger use of GPU
