Gnash can also be used on embedded systems. See screenshots here: http://wiki.gnashdev.org/Gnash#Screenshots If you stick with older SWF version compatibilities you keep the door open for embedded mapping apps with a flash look&feel. I've been working on such setup for years: http://simm-dev.keybit.net SIMM is free software and builds with Ming (also free software) producing SWF versions which can be played with Gnash, and using mapserver-like mapfiles as input for the dataset generator: http://simm-dev.keybit.net/modules/geoswf/index.html If you're interested in that tecnology drop me a note. --strk; Free GIS & Flash consultant/developer () ASCII Ribbon Campaign http://foo.keybit.net/~strk/services.html /\ Keep it simple! _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
