Flash plugin?

[Hoover, Tony]

Yes, that is part of my beef with Macromedia.  Flash is a copyrighted ( or
maybe patented ) file format, and Macromedia will not allow you to download
the spec's if you are going to use it to build a player.  They only allow
you to download the spec's if you are going to make your application OUTPUT
a flash file.

Repeat after me:
Only open file formats (HTML, PDF, or text) belong on the internet. 

Say it loud enough and long enough, and MAYBE webmasters will start
listening.

Subject: Flash plugin?


During some web searches (PWS500a, RH 7.2, Konqueror) I will sometime be
inundated with browser windows trying to hook up to the macromedia flash
site.
 I close them, then make a move on the site I'm actually in and get a bunch
more.  They seem to come 5 at a time.

macromedia doesn't have a flash plugin for alpha, apparently, 'cause it
never
downloads.

The question:  is there a flash plugin that works for Alpha?  Or else a way
to
keep websites from redirecting my browser to macromedia flash?

TIA
