An example of this is in the "Answers" panel in DWMX. -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Haggerty, Mike" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 9:08 AM Subject: RE: Flash for Programmers > Mike - > > You know, I really disagree with the idea that Flash is primarily for > designers.
