I disagree, Adobe is evil. The problem is web standards and browsers are not great, either. Evil Adobe/Macromedia took advantage of this chaos and solved several problems quick and dirty while pushing one of the most proprietary technologies widely used. And "the web" has to come back with real non-proprietary widely adopted solutions to all this things because most web designers are addicted. One of the typical non-video problems: file uploading. So Adobe and Flash are evil, a necessary evil. The OP coded something instead of just giving an opinion. Respect. PS: I still don't understand how Microsoft, Netscape, Opera and Mozilla allowed this monster to exist.
