The trick with LDMs is figuring out what can happen in the LDM layer and what
can only happen in the stage.
Tempos, transitions, sound all have to occur at the level of the stage. You can
control them from the LDM by using "tell the stage". This is probably a good
thing. Imagine if you were allowed to have more than one transition on screen
at a time, before you know it people would be having venetian blinds, boxy
pixels, push and reveals all happening at the same time...almost as bad has
having 10 different font styles :-)
As Mark mentioned there can be some issues which cause headaches but they're
great for building widgets.
check out some of the great work done by James Newton at

and you may have already read the article I wrote but if not its at

As far as shockwave they are a great solution for getting around the MIAW
problem and if you want to be able to drag them all around Mark is right that
they are contained to the shockwave window but if you have your shockwave movie
resize itself only with the browser window you can always move it around within
the confines of the browser window.
Good luck with your LDMs
