Man, I could talk about this till the cows come home. What I do at my  
agency is basically keep anything in the app that could possibly change  
in configuration files which are used to determine the behavior as well  
as the content of the app. I have an AnimationFactory for my  
transitions, a GetText class for localized interface text, etc... my  
MVC setup is super-simple, I only have one Model (my Application  
class), one Controller and one type of view class which uses a  
LayoutManager to layout all text and movieclip assets and load any  
dynamic content. All text styling is done with CSS and some ugly hacks  
to enable things like lineHeight and styles for tags other than the  
pitifully small subset of tags for which MM built support.

Observer is a godsend.

I might be interested in doing a presentation on this, but I agree with  
Nicolas that getting a site up and running in half an hour is a bit of  
a stretch even with MTASC :) Best I've done is still in the range of  
days.

Oh, and for those of you sick of writing your config files and content  
in xml, there are other options...
