Flash player had a open access spec and there was more than just the Adobe Flash Player as implementations.
Pretty much every AAA video game of a certain period would have been using scaleforms Flashplayer for their user interface.

- nostalgeek 8y ago> Flash player had a open access spec and there was more than just the Adobe Flash Player as implementations. No, the compiler maybe, Action Script maybe, but not the player. The player is entirely closed source and there is no open spec for the player. Or you need to show it to me. > there was more than just the Adobe Flash Player as implementations. Only Adobe's implementation could run all swf files. Scaleform was not an alternative flash player. Any attempt at creating an alternative and feature complete flash player failed. Flash the tech is not open, at all.
