The term "SDK" can be used to describe different things:


--  The SWF 3 file format was publicly documented on the Macromedia website

quite awhile ago.


--  The additions in the SWF 4 file format aren't publicly documented yet,

but I'm told they should be pushed live "soon"


--  The Macromedia Flash Player software developers kit is a different

thing entirely (think of the file format spec vs the player code spec), and

the news announcement describes this as freely available only to strategic

partners such as browser or device developers. (ie, the announcement does

not say this will be publicly published... it says the Player SDK remain

confidential.)


--  The chapter of the Flash documentation on how to use the new printing

abilities was also called "SDK".

which of these various things called "SDK" you might be seeking...?
