Sorry for the way late reply, but I was cleaning out my inbox and just

noticed this on the bottom of the tech note question. Can you explain this a

bit more? The MultiUser Xtra is a director thing, yes? But it would work for

Flash movies (as long as the user had the full shockwave plug-in?) Or will

it only work for Shockwave (Director) movies?


Thanks!

 Laura
