Now, if that's the case, what in the world is wrong with Adobe?
They have the most popular rich media format in the world and they
appear to be resting on their loins (or the loins if some inside
investors) in implementing a low color space animation format.
If they are sincere and are looking to improve this, I'm happy. If
I find out something else is at work, then the entropy of power will
befall them as it does every corporation that has people getting
their hands in a pure noble effort, and spoiling it to make a buck
(anyone knows how things really work knows this possibility is very
real).
Please Respond Adobe and clear the air on this.
If anybody else knows how PaperVision3D and others are implementing
custom plug-ins for Adobe Flash CS3 please post.
Creating plugins for Flash is documented. Read the Flash Manual/Help,
search for "extending Flash"... I have not really looked to deep into
this myself, but it's there.
In response to the other things above, what are you talking about? Why
would you want to muck up perfect vector animation with crappy bitmap
animation?

The patents for GIF ran out a few years ago.
And does anybody support mpng?

However, what about Animated PNG?
I've considered this subject for some time, and I am concerned that
Adobe is withholding a great potential improvement in Flash to
benefit FLV.
I maybe completely wrong -- but that is why I'm posing the question.
Lossless reduced color spaces have a great potential benefit to the
web.
It would be Adobe's free choice whether to include it or not -- but
then again, we are free to dump any platform that is overly zealous
when it comes to the economics of supply.
