As it has been said by many designers before, actionscript is a necessary evil of Flash. It's not that hard to figure out either. Take the time to learn some ActionScript and what you thought was a need for generator has decreased by at least 85%! A little ASP helps, but that's not even necessary to make some killer dynamic flash. -If you're not afraid of a little code of course.
yes actionscript (if you know it) can substitute some generator functionality but not everything. another thing is that for example to create some preloader and to create some charts in actionscript require very different level of proficiency. a designer which knows some actionscript and can do a preloader may not be able to create complex and customizable chart even after learning actionscript very well .
