The Flash Player is the central piece that maintains all our eco system unified and to have other players only would be a source of potential problems and headaches for us, developers and users. While those guys are free to do what they are doing I don't think that would be very useful...mostly when the selected version to implement is FP7(sure that a bit old for many of us waiting the 8.5 release...). I wouldn't worry about it if Flash were a server technology like Java, PHP or .NET since those technologies are diferent but finaly export to a languaje that all clients can understand
As many other people here point, I don't think it very useful. Maybe the best option (but totaly utopic) would be to see the player managed by a foundation (maybe created by Adobe?) or institution that moves in pro of the technology and its users.
...mmm...very utopic indeed ;)
2006/1/30, Rákos Attila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
There were some posts earlier concerning an alternative Flash player,
and - as far as I see - the conclusion was that one of the main
advantages of the Flash platform is its uniformity and an
alternative player with its intentional and unintentional incompatibilities
can cause only harm to the whole Flash community. The only target field
where an alternative player is advantageous and acceptable is development
of desktop applications (see the 3rd party projector tools).
And if an alternative player does not differ from that of
Macromedia/Adobe, then what's the point of it?
