Good luck with them. Honestly, I'm surprised that you'd go with a licensed script with a 350K domain. Not to beat you up but, if you have that for a domain, another 3-500K for a solid, unique script, that would become a formidable corporate asset maintaining a high resale value (if it were up to date and contained advanced features), would be logical. Why? Three reasons: (1) With a licensed script, you're effectively opening the door and welcoming your competitors to access your core technologies, essentially just putting a 'new cover on a book that will become old, rather quickly' (2) With a licensed script, you're effectively closing the door on furthering your own progress based on the fact that you will likely be held at the mercy of FlashComs for future development because they will not hand over their Flash/Flex script (they will give you everything else, allowing you to 'skin' the program in any manner that you wish, but not the core script items) and (3) your Balance Sheet (I explain this, below).
Consider 2-3 years out, someone approaches to buy you out of your program. The first deal item that they are going review and vet are your company's Financial Statements. When it is discovered that your script is licensed and holds no value on your Balance Sheet, it is very unlikely that the sale will go through (without you getting 'hosed' in the process).
Again, props on the domain. It is hot and it will certainly get you all sorts of Google hits as well as credibility with your users. But, without considerable business planning, a full, REAL view of what is going on in this industry, and a serious amount of effort for your launch and onwards ('ground' work, developing relationships with your key industry partners, etc...), you might as well sell that domain, get your cash back, and head to Vegas. You'd be playing with the same odds.
Just my opinion. I may be full of shit. Only time will tell.
PS: If FlashComs delivers a 'full site version' in 3-5 weeks, all the best. But, I know this company as well. I was in your shoes 8 months ago and experience tells me that it probably won't arrive on that mark.
