Unless the performance rivals native 3D, I can't see it catching on. One idea I had was to use DirectX to render a scene and dump the screen surface into a bitmap, and then display those bitmaps as they are generated in a flash movie. Even 20 fps would be convincing. Getting user interaction between flash and directx in sync would be an issue, but it might work. Something to think about.
