Re: Non-Web Flash Uses

[Douglas Nottage]

I think there is a big market.  Why do I say that?  Because that's what

Director did and Flash has a lot of similar components.  Real lightweight

presentations that users can put on a floppy and pass around will be more

and more popular (both on the web and for sending out via floppy - God

forbid) and then for LANs you can just keep adding more content (and

increasing the file size).


I haven't worked on such projects, but it definitely came to mind as a way

to do so quickly and with minimal disk space.  It also offers your clients a

fast way to take those presentations and put them on the web without having

to re-build the presentation with another took.
