That'd be kinda harsh - wouldn't it? I understand the need to offer new functionality and have it only work in the new player, but what about backwards compatibility? Can't they release the old framework.swc stuff and have a switch on the compiler to get an older version? I guess I'm kinda concerned about Linux support... the player seems to take forever to come out for Linux compared to the other platforms. Maybe I should be asking if anyone knows when the Linux 8.5/9 flash player will be released? -Rich _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
