i agree...

SWiSH is one of the easiest and best tools for using flash. but i think if you want the unleash the full potential of what flash can do, you should use Flash MX itself.

you probably already know this but SWiSHzone released a program called SWiSHsites which offer a lot of cool templates you can use. if you want to do things on your own though, try adding some 3d. you can do this with programs like Electric Rain's Swift3D.
