As others have said, ActionScript is quite different from Rev. But if your client is going the Flex route, it may be possible to translate the interface components. Flex uses XML for component layout, and in theory at least, it should be possible to map Rev components to the Flex equivalent

How close is ActionScript (Flash) scripting to Rev scripting? I'm doing prototyping in Rev for a client that uses only Flash and Flex to publish. My prototypes so far are pretty simple, with no fancy graphic stuff, a little manipulation on-screen and mainly buttons to check answers, revea
