Adobe has actually opened more of the specs on their flash format
recently - and they did open-source their ActionScript (javascript)
engine for Mozilla to use IIRC (SpiderMonkey?).

I'd say we get R1 out the door, and we'll *maybe* talk to Adobe then
;) (although, as suggested, it probably won't be worth the effort for
them)
Perhaps they'd be willing to work with someone under NDA or some
such... who knows.

I'd really like to see renewed effort on Gnash or swfdec. With the
proper dependencies ported, I suspect these will be the best immediate
options available for Haiku.
I'd recommend taking this topic to the haiku-development mailing list
for further discussion.

Back to the original topic though:
I'd at least be willing to seed torrents for any videos that are out
there already... if someone wants to setup some torrents, let's post
them on the website and I'll seed the crap outta them :)
