Hey, Martin.
I know your opensource efforts. When speaking of "perspectives", I was talking from a development point of view. Of course not budget one ! I too have participated to opensource developments. I too can feel that lots of people say they'll contribute and never do. But don't feel annoyed (like I thnk you are), because I knew this fact before. Sorry if I get you upset, btw. My thread wasn't meant to do it at all. Looking at the great opensource flash related projects, I find nevertheless that an IDE to create flash content is definitively a need. To conclude, let's keep the thread on topic more than the pros and cons of opensource software. Thanks and excuse if any offence.
