    3 things amazing things about smokescreen, or actually about javascript that I never realized it could do until smokescreen demonstrated them:

    1. it reinterprets actionscript byte code
    2. it has a unzip engine written in javascript to decompress swf files
    3. it extracts image and sound data from a swf and turns them into data:uri... url address that is in of itself a data string that could be anything... which it then can plug into the dom anywhere that can takes a url.

    If Google/Apple/Mozilla can improve js as the rates they are doing, then I can see smokescreen becoming as fast as Flash Player is.
