I think that's a good reminder - I wasn't thinking about the folks who don't have the IDE.
However, I still think that if you create an extension for Flash using a SWF interface, that the swf/JSFL could have access to more operating system level functionality like a wrapper would give you. I think it'd go along way in developers extending the IDE and it would seem to meet the criteria as would a projector. Even more so IMHO.
