Oh yes, there will be smashing! worldKit was open sourced not too long ago, and the OS Flash compilation tools are nearly there.

Red5 is SO needed after MM pulled another typical move of late:
Their arbitrary policy changes have potentially HUGE impacts on many non-enterprise organizations - and the comments in this post definately reiterate that.

There’s a little update here, apparently MM somewhat clued in that their customers were somewhat pissed at them:
http://www.flashcomguru.com/index.cfm/2005/11/19/Update-on-Flash-Media-Server-2-Licensing
Also, I hope many developers remember MM’s track record:
- Generator, canned.
- SiteSpring, canned.
- Director, still milking it but basically canned.
- Multi-user server, dead in the water - use Flash Comm, wait use Media Server…
- Central, dead in the water/canned for now
- Contribute, um a problem looking for a market? Missed blogging completely.
- Flash Paper - the greatest thing since PDF, oh wait…
- Flash for Pocket PC, alive, dead, who the hell knows…
- Flash Lite, trying REALLY hard to make it actually matter - but in all reality the licensing is probably going to kill it. Ask Opera how successful they were licensing their browser in the mobile space. The big players are looking at WebKit and Minimo as options.
As for Flex… it’s for enterprise, wait it’s for everyone with a $1,000 bucks to burn AND enterprise, it’s open-sourcy and eclipse’ish… did we mention we love AJAX? We might even look at allowing you to publish to something other than Flash… (yeah, right - PDF?)
BTW - one thing that I’ve found myself discussing more and more as of late is how there is absolutely no equivalent to HyperCard in this day and age to create ‘applications’. Instead we’ve returned to uber-complex, overtly obtuse and in-humane ways of creating software. Not every application NEEDS to be an enterprise application - look at Ning! This is a platform for creating the long tail of applications, although it’s a little advanced for your average user at this point.
People create media - not committees, organizations or companies. Students, teachers, kids, parents, grandparents, store owners, farmers, truck drivers, etc all have stories to tell - but the tools to enable these people to share their stories don’t really existing beyond simple blogging.
