But Adobe can automatically update everyone's Flash Player and break every Flex app out there almost overnight.

Even if you had access to the runtime code, browser vendors could choose to block it. Many thing CAN happen, however, what you are suggesting is unlikely. If you are looking for an 100% guarantee solution, nothing is guaranteed. It's almost as likely as Apple deciding at any point to make Objective C apps no longer compatible with IOS devices, and "force" developers to use, ILang (I'll copyright that one). Arturo Alvarado
