How would stuff like "winset()" be interpreted by flash? Will we still be able to use those functions for both flash and directly downloaded games?

Also, if I embed elements not being transferred to flash on the map. Will the flash client skip those elements and still be able to run?

Considering the Flash client supposedly has minimal interface support, winset will probably be irrelevant.

They mentioned before about making a new file in Dream Maker for Flash interfaces (basically like the normal interface file, but with limited controls you can use), but they seem to have moved away from that idea. Hopefully they reconsider and make custom Flash interface files where developers can place map controls, inputs, outputs, and maybe labels.

From what I understand, the first Flash client is going to basically be a replica of the 3.5 interface (but without the browser and tabs and such). Just a map with a chat on the right.
