[casual_games] Custom browser plugin

[Austin Haas]

Sorry I can't answer your question directly, but I would just like to 
add that I think it's terrible for the browser-based casual games 
industry to rely on a single vendor (Macromedia) for their platform.

I have to think that, with the push for more applications to be 
web-based, someone has to come along and create some (hopefully open 
source) alternatives.

Now, I know there is Java and dhtml, but those don't seem to be very 
competitive with Flash.
