Quote: " thats not 3D Flash... 3D Flash is called Shockwave, which you create with Macromedia Director.
"
Thats very incorrect. Shockwave is the Director side/method of presenting media and Director can incorporate flash content within a shockwaved file. The shockwave player is just like a flash plugin but instead of just swf content it can combine java / javascript / swf and web based material into one package.
Only Director 8 and above has its own raycasting 3d engine but you can mimic 3d within flash via hand drawn cells or exported cells from other 3d packages that export swf. Not all shockwave content has to be 3d and has not always been this way.
Quote: "and no there isn't a free Flash alternative,"
Thats incorrect as well www.openswf.org is the file formats layout and theres been quite a few new products that make swf peices but not a full flash environment per say. Milkshape was converted into a 3d packagfe that spits out 3d swf files to be inserted into other packages like director.

More Silly Nonsense .
Flash was called futuresplash player before half of you got wind of it and it was macintosh only, Macromedia bought it off the parent company when they saw it was a good thing.
