> First of all, without the decompiler, you pretty much wont be able to use the imperator cause how would you get movies from the internet?

I was using the soThink one for awhile to help learn action script until I finally broke down and bought a “training from the source” book. Of course I still dont know what the hell Im doin? \<starts reading\>

If it weren’t for MM’s open source policy, the .swf and/or the Flash player may not be around right now.

Do you think it is an accident that the Flash Player is the #1 downloaded application in the history of the web?

You don’t get one without the other.
