I'm guessing there are a number of people who want to have native flash 9 working in the netscape family of browsers, in particular firefox. Maybe the maintainer(s) who put together flash 7 can let us know what needs to be done, and we could help each other with creating the code together. It could be an opportunity for new people to learn how to code for FreeBSD, I suspect there are many out there who want to contribute, but are not that sure how (the ports system alone can be intimidating at first glance). So how about we get together and show each other how. Just a thought, Tim. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
