It is exactly that.
It offers unlimited possibilities.
You could create a simple 3D planar surface, and make it a web browser , play a movie, a complex gauge or anything you want you can do with Flash.
The included SDK setups for Scaleform makes the magic of reading the sim variables in Flash (and make Flash write them back ofcourse), and you can do ANYTHING you like...
Something that is very hard to do with common gauge programming like the PFD display fading to black when turned off, with Scaleform it's child's play.
I am very skillfull in Flash Actionscripting (while i do suck about standard P3D gauges programming ), so you can imagine my happiness when they implemented it.
I still don't understand why nobody knows it
The "web browser thing" rang a bell.

BTW, i am doing progressess with my CRJ rework. I just finished remodelling from scratch the autopilot panel.
Soon i will make a thread about it.
What tool are you working with?
If it's 3ds Max, and if you rework the entire cockpit (overhead and all), I might be interested in the source file for a FSX compliant model.
