deirdre...maybe the better way to put it is this. Flash is a fine format..and can be distributed in RSS feeds. but Macromedia needs to do some education if they want it used by creators. For the most part, Flash is being used to "protect" video...and most video services using flash do not let the Flash be downloaded through feeds. (see Youtube.com) Flash also cannot take advantage of syncing to devices until a Flash iPod is created or transcoding becomes common. Flash is also not the easiest to create. it is not standard in most editing tools that i know of. Macromedia(which owns Flash) does prohibit encoding and playing in flash format: http://www.macromedia.com/licensing/developer/fileformat/faq/#item-1-8 Q.
