Attila77, gerbick you both are obviously right, my concern was that fake flash 9 will not pretend 10 or 10.1 and that is just pointless. But regarding to what you said I can only add, all devices that keeping-up version incrementation are ok and is not big pain really from customer point of view if you can see real benefits like performance improvements.

(I was ignorant to security improvements some while ago, but some day I have seen real danger what Flash can do using binary data, on flash 9.0.115 that was fixed or just patched. I am talking here about direct access from swf to any MySQL data base.)

But from developer point of view, if you are lazy enough or just think vector is so cool that you can use it occasionally to store 3 strings in it... instead of use array you shouldn't be called developer. I will join to your rants here gerbick

But that situation only showing us how looks the platform or technology abandoned without support and continuation and not allowance to maintain this by ourselves.

Anyway. From couple of days I'm in deep investigation about cross-compiler possibilities AS3 ->ABC -> SWF - ABC 2 any other stuff even python ->swf, C# -> ABC ->SWF via haxe, LLVM even Action Script based compiler. In other to be able to find solution to write AS3 on n900 on the tube I founded something interesting but I don't want to make off topic here.

I founded something even more interesting during this journey.

Lightspark 0.4.2 released on July 20, 2010.
Open Source Swf Player for linux. maybe instead of moaning about lack of Flash 10.1, Adobe, Nokia and all the this crap, linux guys should invest their free time and power to support that project.

This is first time I see good effort and developers behind this, did this from ground-up. Actually I am surprised (since Tamarin - ActionScript Virtual Machine 2 is open sourced from 3 years and swf specification is also transparent.) that none of Linux devs didn't notice that potential yet.

Lightspark looks very promising... is anybody here able to port this solution to Maemo? Than we can stop all this annoying threads, get rid of corp dependencies and be happy
