Flash is designed to be very lightweight, so the likes of Quicktime support would bloat the plug-in. The only solution is to put your Flash inside a Quicktime movie, which currently means Flash 4 only. There are purported 'solutions' for converting digital video movies into Flash, but when you see the abysmal performance/quality that comes out the other end, you will drop them like a hot potato. Flash just ain't designed to do video. Probably never will be. > In case you're not sure, I don't really need to know how to do that, > I can easily get the whole effect in a shockwave movie by having a > QuickTime sprite and a Flash sprite.

If you need interactivity in your Quicktime beyond that offered by Flash 4, you can get your Flash objects to use FSCommand, and then have LiveStage 'wire' those commands with any of the hundreds of wired action atoms. This gives your Flash track much more power than simply Flash 4 actionscript. -Brennan [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
