Macromedia to test Linux support

Checkout news.com

Macromedia's Flash format, Chief Software Architect Kevin Lynch said the company would begin soon by offering optimizations to allow Flash MX, its main set of tools for creating Flash content, to work smoothly with Wine, an emulation program that allows Windows programs to run on a Linux PC. Depending on developer interest, the next step would be to produce Linux-native versions of Flash MX and other applications

Good to see MM taking Linux seriously! This is what is needed for a lot of people to actually make the switch to Linux.

that means that people should support this so that MM will know that it's a good thing.

Start the petition!!
Who here would consider Linux if Flash was native ( or; the Studio package was native )??

I would switch to linux if I could have flash and dreamveawer on it

Nope I'm sticking with my glitchy MS

Hurray !

Coudn't come sooner imo...

ok. to all of the people that's been upset with MM about Linux support... I'm repeating myself.

Support this...

The lack of official support for their products alone has kept Linux out of consideration for me. That could very well change.

Linux is smooth when you got a good library ... I wonder if Flash could get Open Source!

Let's get it running on the platform first :)
On a side note: http://f4l.sourceforge.net/ is a GPL flash editor that you can get the source for though (alpha)
