I have read - some place that made me give it credence - that while Flash 10 /in se/ will not necessarily be more non-(Windows/ OS X) friendly, Actionscript (which as I understand it is the link between the broswer and Flash) was being developed in ... consultation if not necessaeily cooperation ... with the open source community and there was reasonable hope a formal spec might made freely available. Mind you, this was a year (maybe more) ago. I have no idea how that turned out, or even if it was accurate yo begin with. Robert Huff
