Here are a few:
XML Sockets.
The ability to create custom components.
Actionscript classes and reusability.
SWISH's scripting is a subset of that available with Flash.
Defining symbols without placing on stage.
Shape tweening .. (but you can triangulate and apply 3D effects etc.)
No video import yet (unless you convert to SWF or animated GIF)

You can google for some more if you like.

Hatter you are so funny. Is it possible for you to have a real
discussion or must you always put on your silly argumentative hat, or
start name calling when you have nothing intelligent to say?

snore.... Come on hatter arguing about a name? Do you have no better
argument than that?

They are called templates in swish (swishmax)

Too funny.

Even funnier.

http://www.sothink.com/product/flashdecompiler/index.htm They have a
free download so everyone can decompile Hatters code and see what I am
talking about.

Steps to decompile:
1: Go to hatters site and look at a flash object he made

2: Go to your temp Internet files folder and copy the SWF file to a
different directory. (http://www.backwater-productions.net/main.swf
will put Hatters amazing menu system in your temp Internet files
directory)

3: Start Sothink and open hatters swf. Check out the code... (snicker
snicker) You can even check out the simple canned transitions he used.

Hatter you misspelled "did"

Hatter, I am not trying to belittle what you have done. Just putting
it in perspective. Swish (max) is a great program. It is powerful it
can produce some awesome flash, but it is still only a subset of Flash.
And it always will be. If you continue to grow in your software
development skills, you will eventually see that. Right now at your
skill level you are probably better off with Swish. Maybe down the
road you will have the need to actually learn Flash. Then again, you
can probably go through your entire career and never use anything more
than Swish (max)

Now it is your turn to talk about my mother, and how you fucked her, or
some other silly thing you rant about when you have nothing to say...
