It's very good news, that's what it is.


It's an effort by MM to make Flash a true web standard.


With an open file format, other application developers get the code & can

write to it.  It becomes possible for other applications developers to

write Flash movie editors.


It also allows the browser people to incorporate it through a license.


So, this could result in no need for a plug-in, as it would be built into

the browser, starting with the version 5's.


Looks as though MS is going to be a problem though, because as usual, they

are pushing a different standard, in an ongoing effort to control

everything. - like Java & JavaScript


But this time, it's different.  Flash does indeed have the momentum to

stand up to MS, by popular demand.  40 million downloads & 150k per mo.

can't be wrong.


Going open just sealed Flash's dominance in web vector graphics.  Or at

least I hope so.  MS & PGML can go fish.  PGML is on paper.  Flash is now.

Flash is better.  Game Over.


Netscape & IE too, you just got the green light. Build-in Flash native.  Do

it now.
