fyi
We don't see MTASC or any other open source Flash projects as a bad
thing. In fact, we are very excited about them as they all strengthen
teh attractiveness of developing for the Flash Platform. This is why
we have been discussing them in our recent keynote, and why we
released the Flash / JavaScript kit under an open source license.
As far as maelstrom info and demos being online, this does not
surprise us. This happens every release of the public beta. If
anything, there are fewer examples right not because of the bug with
AsSetPropFlags not working in the beta.
We don't have a problem with developers playing around with the
player, and discovering thing (heck, I even posted some info on
cacheAsBitmap to the wiki). We do have issues with people decompiling
the player, and distributing our content without our permission, but
that hasnt really been an issue with the beta.
As far as MTASC, having a solid non-Macromedia compiler available is
a good thing for the Flash platform. Now, what might not be good is
if that compiler branches from other compilers, but that is a
discussion for another day / thread.
