While there are some good points brought up in this article, there are

factual errors, most specifically that LiveMotion is "bitmap-based".


Yes indeedy, LiveMotion will create bitmap objects, if you ask it to do so.


But ...


LiveMotion will produce a pure vector file *if* the designer creates the

file properly.


FWIW, I'll be illustrating tips & techniques for fast SWF files from

LiveMotion at WebDC next week.
