We've been trying to create a fully Flashed environment, needing only a 

browser and the F4 plugin, just to see if it can be done. The limitations 

are within Flash and how it handles large files. So, I guess we're back 

to controlling QT4 movies with Flash, which is fine, we were just hoping 

to simplify things for both our development and the client computer, 

reducing needs of installing tons of hooha,  a restart, potential 

conflicts, etc.


It is not  just a "CD Juke", in that we're not using simple stock music, 

but similar in that we're trying to import large sections of rich sounds 

(music, voice, effects), so, while the problem remains similar, the 

solution isn't quite as simple.


When MM lightens up on distribution terms for Shockwave components, and 

makes the installer and its pieces more manageable, we'll seek an MM-only 

solution. Till then, we'll be counting on the ever growing usefulness of 

QT4 combined with F3 and F4.


But, I'd still like to see some technical data on how F4 manages temp 

files, so, at a minimum, we can configure our machines for optimal 

performance without all the trial and error.


Thanks for your input, John.  (:
