    I don't think a flash based CMS application could hold a candle to what you can do with a java applet.

    try formating (and coloring and stylising) text for a document... worse yet, try to get text to wrap around an image... a wysiwyg (for HTML) environement would be very difficult if not impossible in flash... tables would be a bitch too.

    flash is getting better for application developement, but it still has it's roots as a basic animation program... and that heritage shows through when you try to produce full fledged applications with it.

    I think it's probably more trouble than it's worth for an admin system.
