This brings up another delima for Flash developers I havent seen discussed on the list and questions the future of Flash. If every time an updated version of FlashX comes
about, how is it to ever become a standard? Even Flash3 integrated into NS4.5 and above is only possible if relations between MM and NS and other potential browser companies
are positive to keep this format onboard. Statistics and numbers of DLs goes down the drain every time a new-plug in version is released. This means that developers and their
clients will suffer constantly to deliver this format to there viewers and potential customers or clients. Flash future is uncertain and its obvious the above statement shows
that this will not be as easy as gif or jpg standard.

Will it be a never ending story? Is it possible to reach a "final version"?

Beware that I know other popular plug-ins have there revised versions, but my moneys on Flash and I need direct solutions
to what is being done. MM, anyone?
