Response to: Anyone can create Flash files
you:
" What if I wanted to use the specification to develop a product that did not output SWF...e.g. a competitive Flash reader?"
me:
"there are. one comes to mind http://www.swfxxl.com/ . the developer of which spoke at flash forward sf this year and called the normal flash player (but apologized in advance first) 'stupid' when it comes to fullscreen. thats why swfxxl exists. those wacky germans."
you:
"If I were Adobe I would vastly prefer to put my faith in the W3C where they have representatives and some degree of control (along with the rest of the community) rather than depending on the goodwill of Macromedia. I suspect that is why they are pouring so much effort into SVG."
me:
"does effort in this case equal $$$ to the w3c? also is the 'svg plugin', 'svg player, 'svg support' going to be a huge file size too like it is for the pc/mac/*nix? is that why the w3c likes that too? svg does have its place indeed. as icons supported by the os's gui."
