When (I'm hoping it's 'when') this becomes stable I'm thinking a Mac port of this would make a lot of people happy. Despite Steve's fighting words I think most Mac users out there would prefer not to be second-class citizens on the web, and this could be a big step in that direction.<p>PS. Apologies for stealing your thunder there, Linux people, I just see the average Mac user wanting [a decent flash player] more than the average Linux user.

So far, my impression was that the problem with building a Flash implementation isn't so much the language runtime as everything else - rendering, video, audio, input, etc. Isn't Tamarin [1] enough to run ActionScript 3?<p>FWIW, I realise that this has an advanced implementation of some graphical features and I'm not trying to belittle it, it seems an impressive effort. I'm just curious what's currently holding back a full implementation.<p>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarin_(JavaScript_engine)" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamarin_(JavaScript_engine)</a>

So does this read actionscript, or straight from the .swf?

Tried to install a couple of days ago; it builds with tweaks but crashes on my up-to-date Arch Linux install.

I don't desire flash so much that this matters.
