I know Baggins did the coding, I stumbled upon that the other day, but it's not the coding I have an issue with, it's the use of "Flash" I have an issue with because I don't see why I should have to install corporate spyware from Adobe on my computer, in order to use Poser.  I would never have purchased Poser 10 in the first place if I'd known Flash was required to actually use the program, it's normally only requred for Flash exports, not to form one of the main features of the program!

And mean for crying out loud, Flash of all things!
Flash is dead, and even when it was in it's prime (if you can call it that), it was always a festering, resource hogging pile of crap, and still is!

No "Flash" and no "Air" is getting installed on my system again, so it looks like goodbye Poser.

If you do not install Flash on a new system, some things won't work. Air probably wont be that big of a deal. HTML 5 is slated to be the replacement for both, from the powers that be. And is in use with a lot of things now.. 

HTML 5 uses the websocket protocol for things like the library, which has it's own book of issues. Another issue, is what is trusted here may not be trusted anywhere else.

Commands listed as trusted in one browser may not be in another. Making code, and it wont work everywhere,... Including operating systems.

So even if an HTML 5 library is written, it will have holes in it because it is written in HTML 5..... It may also need multiple code paths just so it will work on different platforms.

Don't let this stop anyone from writing a replacement thou. As there already are more than a few of them out there.

Food for thought....
