yes unity can output swf now.
but they had their own plugin before stage3D.
And unity will compete with Adobe on the tooling part which is where
Adobe wants to make money.
I don't believe that is a complete understanding.
Not all of Adobe's Flash Platform money is coming from tooling. They
have those premium features (

which have a weird licensing model w/ a percentage of revenue. I assume
that be the way forward how Adobe makes money; with Tools and the open
screen project being secondary.
Previously, I thought the bulk of the money Flash Player made--in the
past--was via the ads in the installer. [That stupid toolbar checkbox
everyone forgets to unclick when installing or updating Flash Player] [I
don't know numbers, but I've been told it was an obscene amount]. That
revenue is going away as Flash Player moves to "silent updates".
