Flash is evil.
Also, I'm a little confused what you are trying to accomplish in flash that you can't do in HTML. To do a WYSIWYG editor, you would need to make sure the editing interface is being rendered exactly the same as the viewing interface. You will be constantly trying to mimic the way HTML is rendered in a browser. This seems like a difficult task that has nothing to do with editing wikitext.

A few relevant links for a historical perspective:
Another, somewhat more recent one: < http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Minutes/October_3-5,_2008#Open_Standards... "The board asked Sue to have Mike Godwin revise the draft policy to a version that would make it clear that only free formats are permissible."
Did that ever happen? (Or did anything useful ever come about of it?)
There was also a proposed policy on Meta:< http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File_format_policy%3E, but it looks like it's historical now.
