Director can't import a quicktime with alpha channel or a sequence of 24bit PNGs/TIFFs with builtin alphas? You'll lose whatever layering control you are talking about, but would still have alphas.

Exactly.
Director can't use QuickTime's alpha. I
might be able to get the background dropped out of an FLV, but a SWF I have a
lot more control over. I can effect individual layers through code. Which, can be a very useful thing.

Yes, it can do that. It isn't optimal, but it can do it. So can Flash, for that matter... but the production process is prohibitive. Run a separate output from Moho for each layer, import and recomposite them in something else? I can't see that happening.
