Macromedia

OK... How far out of the loop am I that I didn't know Adobe owned Macromedia?!? When did that happen?

Also... Think there will be a flash and shockwave player for 64-bit Linux any time soon? BB looks even worse with broken pieces where plug-ins are unavailable! Laughing

its probably been a year now. kinda funny thinking about when adobe sued macromedia over their little panels each of them used...i think adobe had it first with photoshop.

Macromedia is one of the only things keeping me from switching from x86 Gentoo to amd64 Gentoo. There isn't much real performance gain in 64-bit for what I use, but I still want to be with the times. I don't just upgrade to that because for the few apps that do require 32-bit, requires tons of 32-bit compatible libraries to be installed, which often cause more problems than not, so until 32-bit compatibility is no longer required, I'll stick to 32-bit.

As of now, they're still relunctant to even start on 64-bit Flash. They said they've considered it but not going to work on it yet. Don't know why. Seems everything will be primarily 64-bit by Q4 2007.

Waiting for Vista.... XP x64 has not been taken seriously.

Well, the x64 version of CentOS is nice, and already installed... Laughing

- So I want to stick with that on this particular system.

You can get Flash working in x86_64, you just have to install the 32-bit compatability stuff, 32-bit FireFox, and then you can use Flash.
