from the Adobe site http://www.adobe.com/devnet/swf/:
SWF File Format Specification (Version 10)
The SWF file format is available as an open specification to create  
products and technology that implement the specification.

This looks like MW can use flash 10 and its swf format. I asked Adobe  
about this question. I let you know what there answere is.
