Wow, that isn't very good reasoning on their part, and quite obtuse if they supposedly know much about webservers. If 200 users access the course simultaneously, and it's all in one big .swf, that's much much harder on the server than a single small .swf with external media files which load on demand. Either way, data is data. It may be *slightly* compressed as 100% .swf format, but not enough to relieve the server and cause any noticeable difference from a user or server perspective. From a user perspective, they are going to see a loooong download and then the course, instead of an instant download and the content on-demand. Putting all your content in one .swf is just a bad idea in my opinion - from all three perspectives of the developer, the IT Admin, and the user. I guess, you still haven't convinced me this has to all be in one .swf. :) Jason Merrill Bank of America Learning & Organization Effectiveness - Technology Solutions _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com 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
