My read on this is that the ECMA script engine (aka Javascript) will be folded into Spidermonkey, the Javascript engine that is part of the Mozilla project. It doesn't have anything really to do with Flash in particular. There are a number of products that utilize Spidermonkey for adding cross-platform scripting to their products when otherwise they might have to implement Applescript on Mac and VB Script on Windows - for example...Valentina Studio 2.5 :-) What this quite interesting in a database environment that also supports SQL - you can act automate SQL queries and also act on the result. Add in the new virtual PIVOT TABLE capabilities coming and you have an excellent data analysis tool.
