  1. That press release looks familiar... on Macromedia Looking at Opening Flash Player · · Score: 2
    Oh the magic of cut and paste. A big chunk of the BeOS article is from a readme file I wrote at least one moon ago. I feel so not famous.

    But as the lead engineer for the team that created the SDK's I'd like to contribute a few things:

    • There are _2_ SDKs being released at the same time. One for porting the player (the Porting SDK) and one for creating SWF files in C++ (the File Format SDK).
    • Our contract was to release for windows, but it wasn't hard to port them to Linux. :)
    • The SDK's are done. Complete. Fini. They await the magic legal touch of Macromedia to get out the door.

    I hope those of you who can use them, enjoy them!

    Not a rumor.

    I'm the lead engineer for the team (Middlesoft) that wrote the SDK's and I can assure you they exist. And have for some time, for that matter. Release awaits resolving the licensing issue.

    Macromedia has a press release for it, buried in their sight somewhere.
