i don't quite understand what the problem  is specifically- pc files on a

mac for the most part can't be opened by double-clicking. in some cases, you

can open them by doing file>open


there is an app out there called flash FLA typer and flash SWF typer that

attached flash files to flash instead of whatever-  quicktime in my case. i

don't remember which of the many resource website i d/l from but if you

email offlist i'll zip it to you.


don't get me started on a rant ---> new media dept head. i got a out of

university a year ago- the dept head wouldn't buy flash because he said they

already had director6 and flash was redundant.  (oh, and they wouldn't

upgrade to dir6.5- and Qt 3 was out  -but that's another story...)

i ended up buying it myself and within 2 months half the multimedia class

was using and buying flash3. to not  buy flash 5 just because he/she can't

open a file is downright stoopid. he must be tenured.
