3. Restrictions

a. You may not use the Specification in any way to create or develop a
runtime, client, player, executable or other program that reads or renders
SWF files.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that says you can't create and executable that
reads swf files as far as I can tell.

I'm all for not having a second set of players, so no for playback is
understandable to me (as I said in the first place). However, if I create a
graphic, animation, or program in flash, and want to reuse that, dif it,
convert it, merge two files etc etc, at some point I will need to read the
swf. It's my work, and the end result is either a generated swf or nothing
to do with Flash, so I find the 'read' restriction to be really unfair.

Cheers,
Robin
