Adobe opens Flash source to Firefox
Adobe Systems has opened up the source code for the scripting language of the widely used Flash Player to Mozilla Foundation, creator of the Firefox web browser. Access to the code will enable the development of faster and richer interactive Web 2.0 style of applications that will work well with Firefox.
The source code, called ActionScript Virtual machine, is based on the ECMAScript programming standard, which is also used by Microsoft’s JScript and similar to Sun’s JavaScript.
