[Flashcoders] Thanks! Where are you?

to understand the problem and help guide me. I couldn't have asked for more. I'm amazed at the level of activity here! People are posting at all hours - where is everyone? I'm in New York City. Any Flashcoder drink nights in the NYC area? Thanks again - Daniel Cardenas

Re: [Flashcoders] RANT: Collect Fonts Button

So how can QuarkXpress offer such a utility? Or FlightCheck? I haven't done any print work in years - and I haven't yet had any *major* issues with Flash and font management, knock on wood. However I did pick up some good habits from when I did work in print, and I'm very impressed with

Wow! Thanks Stacey - that's far more than 2 cents worth! I'm reading and absorbing - but will need to spend a little more time with your reply :-) --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 917-750-6398 AIM: dcardena
