Coming from the Director world you know there are basic issues with some of the more basic elements, such as HTML text, in Director. In the meantime bigger and badder items have been added to Director giving it more *WOW* while basic issues were not addressed. (And, no, "Xtra" is not a solution to what should be a basic implementation.) I'm saying this, because it makes me wonder if the same is happening (will happen) with Flash! ...Rob _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
