If I only know what or who Till Eugenspiegel is! :-)

You are not, but for me Flash support is very recent in PHP and is very
cool.  Being also a desirable feature (several designers asked me in
January about that to implement interactive e-commerce solutions), it's
obvious to me that there are some Joe Webby's out there will get themselves
carried away with the excitement of the new feature and will bother to try
to persuade their bosses into PHP.

Sure, but don't you agree that many users aren't capable to learn from C
source code?
