If the flash exporter only would be able to make games with Active Objects that could move,rotate,collide and stuff like that, it maybe wouldn't matter much as it is allready easy to do in Flash.

But it is only the runtime code, MMF is about the editor not the runtime. If anything CT should consider releasing more details about the runtime / CCN file structure to selected developers and they might get third parties creating runtimes for other systems. You still need the MMF editor to create the files in the first place. I would not recommend releasing the actual runtime code as that may be commerically sensitive but enough information to attempt to make your own I wouldnt see as a risk.
In the end you could get a lot of this information anyway from a trail and error approach + binary editor (and lots of time & coffee!)

[]People like Jeff and AndyH (and others) through the V-Cade have tried very hard to raise the profile of Vitalize. Unfortunately it seems to have limited success and I imagine 90% of people with vitalize installed are Clickteam users. It is the catch 22 problem, people wont use it much on websites unless everyone has it installed and everyone won't install it if they never need to because it is not well used or known about outside of CT users.

Just a suggestion, I personally believe that IE is a dying technology, which MS has neglected, and I think Firefox is the way to go. Why because the user base is increasing and some statics I seen seem to suggest that penertration with Firefox and Mozilla might be as high as 44%. Now I recon for MMF2 Vitalize to hit the big time, it needs to be recognised as a plugin for Firefox. For that to happen, Vitalize needs to be listed as a plugin on the Firefox web site, with a nice descripion of how its used. So when somebody stumbles upon a vitalized app they are taken to the offical firefox web site. Having he Firefox stamp of approval IMHO is important.
Secondly to promote MMF we need a toolbar for firefox, that promotes MMF, Jamagic, Vitalize apps, games and sites. It need to be a little button, that opens a clickworld type gateway. I think features like check my game ranking would also be cool. Now what would also be nice if vitalized games could be stored in a special directory at the users request. Access to the directory could be then via the toolbar.
Thats my thoughts about that issue. As for exporting to Flash a total waste of time IMHO. Developers time would be better spend developing a vector graphics object and changing Vitalize to be able to stream applications over the web. For example load one frame and start running it, while downloading the next frame to cache.

Oh no, no more toolbars <img src="/center/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I don't like those
IE7 seems to get positive feedback even though most people I've talked to didn't like it much. Microsoft will not really succeed with it unless they add better extension support which I don't think they will.
But yes, IE is getting much less popular. Only 52.47% visitors on my website used IE while Firefox had 38.87% of the users.
Actually I think a flash exporter would be a good thing. Not that it would need to be that advanced it would just be a little tool that shouldnt be used much time on.
