Hey, Martin.

I know your opensource efforts.
When speaking of "perspectives", I was talking from a development point 
of view.
Of course not budget one !

I too have participated to opensource developments.
I too can feel that lots of people say they'll contribute and never do.
But don't feel annoyed (like I thnk you are), because I knew this fact 
before.

Sorry if I get you upset, btw. My thread wasn't meant to do it at all.

Looking at the great opensource flash related projects, I find 
nevertheless that an IDE to create flash content is definitively a 
need.
To conclude, let's keep the thread on topic more than the pros and cons 
of opensource software.

Thanks and excuse if any offence.
Greetings.
