Maybe I am having difficulty with your english, but I think it would be

difficult to create a flash site in anything other than Flash and that is

kind of my point.  Anyway check out:

I would trust that my best interest would be served by the standards groups

(5th gen browsers look good) way before I would trust my best interest to

Macromedia. That being said I trust neither.  I study the different

technologies for myself so I can make informed decisions. I use the right

tool for the job.  I don't use an electric jig-saw when I have to cut a

dowel.  (by the way, what is your point about the iMacs - I am totally

missing any connection)


Don't let me stop you from using FLash only. It is your prerogative. You do

realize the web (which was what the original question was about) is made up

of html (that surrounds Flash at times), don't you???... Browsers will get

better, you know.
