One more point about plug-in MC vs local MC:
Using even a well-accepted plugin like QuickTime can be a hassle. I 
have been experimenting with QT streaming video. First I waded 
through the problems of creating different movie versions for 
different environments. Then I discovered that QT sprites were memory 
hogs. A lot of stuff that worked fine on an ethernet LAN failed to 
work well on a modem, even though all the numbers looked good. Based 
on this, I would guess that getting an MC project to work in a 
plug-in environment would be probably be much harder than getting it 
to work locally.
