I think it would be nice to generate complex vector graphics and or  
embed fonts.  Doing vector graphics in bytecode (AS2 or haXe) is not  
as fast is loading a pre-generated vector encoded in the library of  
the swf.  Of course fonts can only come from the library.  Images and  
MP3 files would be nice to encode, but they can be fetched at runtime  
so that is less interesting.
