I've actually been playing with this a lot lately... you can get flash to "trace" a bitmap.. which turns it from a large image to a vector style flash object... Then you can reduce the geometry and start playing with it from there.. I think my next project is going to be some kind of flash movie using poser... There's lots of potential there.. Anime is a really great source of inspiration for flash because it does lots of work with minimal amounts of actual elements. By shifting peices and paning a camera along a cel a lot is conveyed with pretty low overhead... and it's quite effective..
