"How many Flash tools have been sold so far?"

Sorry, like I said, I'm a techy and do not know sales figures. You might try looking at the annual report; that's where I'd go for such numbers, myself.

"If it is the best as you say, then why aren't people using it and why are they going to QuickTime 3?"

If you'll doublecheck what I actually wrote, then I suspect you'll not see such evangelizing. For the question "Have any other software creators announced SWF support yet?" then yes, but it's only early adopters so far... people on minority platforms are creating native players, for instance. It would take at least a product cycle for Adobe or Corel to export SWF, I'd wager. (I assume you're interested here in SWF export, rather than RealNetwork's SWF support, or the distribution support from Microsoft, Netscape, Apple, AOL et al.)

Note that Macromedia tools themselves use both MOV and SWF... no necessity for the implied either/or here.
