Vim's Flash Thread

[Robert Potts]

In response to Vim's recent questions I had a tangential discussion with 
dedicated Mac user who is also a Flash developer.  I forwarded him parts 
of Vim's message with some points about how Flash is good in some 
applications, but it's kind of frowned on by this community:

I said:
 > oh and by the way any security holes [people] can't fix because 
you're not allowed to touch the source...

he replied:
<quote>
Isn't that potentially a good thing? Provided the source is not trying 
to pull any underhanded shit the flash file should be pretty secure, 
anyway? (?)
I wouldn't give up using flash anyway- it's too much fun as a tool. I'll 
check this GNASH thing out.

anybody care to take this hot little potato and have fun with it?

I'm posting this for my own and his educational needs. I'm all ears.  
Please, feel free!
