As JD said, the Flash 5 program is extensible in various ways... most of

which are through actual Flash files themselves, or even just with custom

HTML templates. Things like Smart Clips add functionality and "extend" the

program, but don't tap into any special APIs. The closest thing we have to

this is building Smart Clips that use a custom UI, as detailed in the Flash

5 manual.


So, feel free to check this stuff out, and I do hope you can contribute

extensions anyway - you definitely don't need to use C++ to do this.
