Andrei, There was a lengthy discussion at the 360|Flex conference a few weeks ago about Adobe open-sourcing the player. It won't happen.
The Flash Player is essentially the Red Tamerian project (open source) https://code.google.com/p/redtamarin/ with a whole slew of properiety, licensed codecs, tools and other addins. Things like video playback, text rendering, etc. are all things that Adobe has licensed from others that would prevent them from open-sourcing the player itself. They've already open-sourced the VM. -Nick On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 10:32 AM, Me.Com <and...@leapingbytes.net> wrote: > I hate people who write opinionated articles without bothering to learn > anything about the subject.
