Yes and no... you can do desktop development for it as well (that has been my main use for it) - for more information check out: http://haxe.org/com/libs/swhx

By creating these custom wrappers I can give full access to the filesystem and databases without the Flash guys needing much knowledge of the surrounding development. This is a lot like Zinc is, however gives me a lot more control over what is happening and I can create additional dll's to hook in to to further extend what is going on behind the scenes.
