I have been working with Adobe management and the Flash development team for quite some time.

In the meantime, just in case, it could be worthwhile to further our support of linux-flash9 under FreeBSD. best, -matt -- Matt Olander CTO, iXsystems - "Servers for Open Source" http://www.iXsystems.com Public Relations, The FreeBSD Project http://www.FreeBSD.org BSD on the Desktop! http://www.pcbsd.org Phone: (408)943-4100 ext. 113 Fax: (408)943-4101
