No. VML is a text-based interchange and delivery format for vector graphics, whereas Flash is a binary format for the delivery of vector-based graphics and animation. Macromedia did not submit their file format to the W3C. However, they did open their file format up for application developers, Web developers and end users. See http://www.macromedia.com for more information.
