- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24Bye, bye Silverlight.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Now the really cool thing would be an open source flash.
- euro22, on 12/17/2008, -0/+12Am I having a little Deja Vu or was this on the frontpage of Digg like 2 days ago?
- jeremiahpotts, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9yes it was on the front page yesterday

"Adobe Releases Cross-Operating System Runtime"

Don't support linux desktops, understandable, but neglecting the linux server platform won't cut it these days, linux on the server is too pervasive to ignore.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7how hard is it NOT to post duplicates?
- DesignHonky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Its funny how everyone was bashing Flex and Apollo before all this. But now that its open sourced..."Oh! What a great platform, this sounds interesting!"
- sirdaz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Seems as this will now be cross-platform, I can really see actionscript being the 'hot' language to know very soon.

Don't bury me. I'm right. I am a flex developer. ActionScript is ECMAScript. It is basically javascript 2.0. - LegendOfLink, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Old news, but I guess because it appeared on Tech Crunch, it's automatically dugg. You *****.
- diggapleaze, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@jameswilson
That's fine and all. But remind us again why you have two digg accounts?
Oh, I get it. That's why each of your comments have exactly a +2 rating. - JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1diggaplease, i honestly dont have two digg accounts. that would be extremely petty, and if you actually look at my digg comment history, you'll see i have some real winners. no need to cheat.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4"Parts of"? *****. Open the whole thing, or none of it. Don't half-ass it.

if you're talking about the player: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
it's still a few years behind but hopefully this news gives the project more interest - slapout, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I think the real story here is that they used an IPTV show to make the announcement, rather than more traditional methods.
- adolfojp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I hope this means improved online multimedia content and not a rebirth of the "lets make everything in flash" school of thought.
- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Actionscript IS javascript, strongly typed.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Or a Flash with a competent authoring environment. How you can ***** up keyframe editing as thoroughly as Macromedia did is marvel of their development process. Of course, they were a perfect match for Adobe, the other champion of ***** UIs. And finally, what a surprise, they both have a strong Mac background.
- bioniksystem, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0What does this mean to all those poor Linux people and their inability to use Shockwave? Is that coming?
- UberNick, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1@sirdaz
It's almost exactly Java, so while a lot of people will know it, I doubt it will be a 'primary' one to learn. Ruby on the other hand... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2Pretty hard for the infantile "mee tooooo!" attention hounds on here. The sad part is, it's not even real attention; it's anonymous *****.
Go stroke your pathetic maladjusted boners, dupe-posters.
