I think everybody here at the shop thinks it's wonderful that people are

running with the file format.


Macromedia Generator is designed for high volume and reliability, and it

definitely does not serve the fullest range of needs... a low cost

generator that handles 80% of the need seems like it would satisfy other

groups of people. I'm glad to see Swift Tools and YGenerator and the rest,

myself... means more people can accomplish more of their goals.


fwiw, there's another high-volume commercial generator of SWFs available,

via http://www.popchart.com/ ... they handle the LATimes sport statistics.

These folks are more in direct competition with Macromedia Generator, but

the file format is still open and they can definitely use it as they will.
