Hmm, that sounds a lot like a fancy virtual machine for javascript (or
ECMA-262 which Flash uses and calls ActionScript) and not a Flash player
itself. And the Mozilla project is talking about a 2008 release date
for it being integrated with Firefox[1], which isn't exactly "soon
enough" in my opinion. It looks like we'll still have to wait for the
foot dragging Adobe to get a Flash player for Linux.
