I have a couple of presentations in early May, to groups that are mostly into Flash, and I'll be showing them Revolution. Are there good examples of what Revolution has been used for that I could show?

The problem with flash vs rev comparisons is that flash excels exactly where rev has the biggest deficits: Fast and reliable animation and impressive support for vector graphics. Obviously your flash users did choose flash because of it's strengths, and not it's weaknesses.

Said that, I always find these things interesting about Rev:

repeat for each, chunks and data handling
- http://support.runrev.com/scriptingconferences/ (unfortunately, link broken)
 - http://runrev.com/developers/tutorials/
(almost) native look on 3 platforms
 - best to just compile test app for 3 platforms at once
IDE made with the same language (this especially would be very hard with flash)
 - Glx2 script editor -> http://www.daniels-mara.com/glx2/
 - BvG Docu -> http://www.bjoernke.com/runrev/stacks.php (i made this)
 - Metacard ->  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MC_IDE/ (alternative ide)

If you want to show how rev handles the strengths of flash, then look at these:

Web development:
 - http://www.himalayanacademy.com/ (mostly made with rev cgi)
 - http://www.fourthworld.com/products/webmerge/index.html
 - http://www.altuit.com/webs/hemingway/hemingway/default.htm
Creating Buttons:
 - http://www.buttongadget.com/buttongadget2/default.htm
- http://www.tactilemedia.com (navigate to "media", because it's flash)
Animation:
 - http://www.runrev.com/products/related-software/animation-engine-2/

I'm sure there are thousand of other examples, but these came to mind immediately. In the end it hugely depends on what you actually want to show.
