Re: FLASH: Detect dial up

[Brett Rampata]

you might want to consider doing this project in Director. There are 

numerous options you can go with, especially if your developing a CD-ROM.

You can still do all the animations and navigation in Flash, you just have

to integrate into Director through calling Handler Events from Flash to

Director. ( Basic Tell Targeting concept).


I do this on a everyday occurrence, so if you have questions concerning

integrating Flash into your Director pieces feel free to contact me.
