I'd be interested in this as well. Have you seen this:
Developers of existing and emerging platforms and devices can support Macromedia Flash (SWF) playback. The Macromedia Flash Player Source Code SDK contains a portable C++ source code version of the Macromedia Flash Player as well as documentation designed to help a third-party software or hardware developer easily port the Macromedia Flash Player to any platform. The Macromedia Flash Player Source Code SDK is designed for ease of porting and for platform independence. The code as provided compiles on Win32 and Linux systems. Find out more about how to license the Macromedia Flash Player Source Code SDK. http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer/licensing/sourcecode/ Perhaps Mandrake could be convinced to sign up for it, and stick a developer onto it (but not Stew, he's busy enough as is :) ) Ian On 11 Apr 2002, Nick Texidor wrote: > Thanks for the feedback Ben. > > It wouldn't hurt to drop them an email and see if they can at least > release a PPC version.
