Seems like a huge opportunity for folks who are fluent in Flash/AS3 and haven't had time to jump on the Objective-C bandwagon. It's likely that since it's compiled down, it'll run faster than interpreted Flash! Great move by Adobe! (I'm curious if Flex will work.)

I would expect Flex to work as well since it's basically an actionscript GUI library written on top of Flash. There is a mxml compiler that takes your Flex gui code and converts it to a SWF. And it sounds like LLVM takes a SWF and turns it into Obj-c code so I think it would work.
