anyone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, but processing is just an sdk developed in java. basically, you take a complex function that contains the algorithm to say, draw a line, package it up in a line function line(x,y,x2,y2), for example and then put it in a library. in other words, they've done most of the hard work for you and you just take these complex objects provided to you in a simple wrapper and implement them as stated in the api. all that to say, i seriously doubt you will ever see macromedia merging with java technology in this way.
macromedia needs to push the envelope on flash instead of the small improvements here and there. better font support, bitmap blitting support, etc. and their ide could use a major overhaul as well. but, this is just one persons opinion.
