I was also thinking in the lines of alchemy, and the amazing stuff people pull of using that. Seeing the whole apparat project of Joa Ebert or the stuff Nicolas Cannasse pulls off...
When reading about that, I think a bit of a c++ or even assembler knowledge would've helped a great deal, since I'm playing with alchemy a bit myself now as well. I realise that stuff isn't found in the average Flash project, allthough I did work in a project not too long ago where they are implementing some alchemy to speed things up.
