Actually, many applications can import PSD files with layers. A few that spring to mind are: Quicktime, Painter, Bryce, Adobe LiveMotion (which can export in Flash format). I'm not sure about the Flash application itself; might want to check with Macromedia. Each app translates the layers into its own format; for example, in LiveMotion, the layers become "objects."

However, when you save the file in these programs, they are no longer PSD files (obviously). But (I think) your point is that you can use the advantages of the original psd file to build something else in another program.

As far as viewing on the web, depending on what you want to do either Flash or Quicktime might be your best bet for gaming. Both are well supported, as you probably know.
