[senit] Flash, Jam, Crash was: Write your own art software in SLD

Geoff,

Geoff,

just one other example, the BBC's Jam or digital curriculum project.
most if not all in flash, at a cost of tens of millions of pounds and  
pulled earlier this year at short notice.

Had this been open, and public domain or other cc license it is most  
unlikely this work would have gone to waste.

Jonathan,

I cannot accept your negative approach.

If you find a precious flower , you nurture it,

especially if it something you will never see the like of again.

I don't believe that SVG , though an excellent concept, will ever  
generate something like Flash 4 unless this software is its source.  
If it does then what's the problem - there will be a replacement for  
Flash 4!

There is an unfortunate attitude that commerce is not to be trusted,  
the idea of paying a reasonable amount for a good product is to be  
commended.

There will always be 'good people' who will want to do something that  
works well enough to make enough money for the business to survive  
and function well for the benefit of others.

The fact that many global businesses are set on money making as an  
end in itself, does not mean that others operate with the same  
philosophy.

Teachers that have been in business and know the feeling of running a  
satisfying business - as I have - will agree I suspect.

Flash 4 is available at the moment with no more requirements than  
your input of time and enthusiasm - Grab it with both hands - gently .
