Flash swfs

[Simon Lord]

Not sure about a dll, I would need it to be a little more officially 
supported for Mac, PC and Linux like Flash is right now.  All my work 
is not streamed via the web so I do very little work in MetaCard 
anymore, it's all Flash and FlashComm Server.

But being able to build my projects in MetaCard with embedded Flash 
files would be so much easier than creating the entire application in 
Flash.  Flash is just not geared towards building interfaces in a 
timely manner.

Too bad the browser plugins are not compatible with any application.
