RE: migrate director to flash

[Elizabeth Wagner]

Actually, If you take a look at my site http://www.smartdna.com.  The

splash movie there is

also an animated gif exported that is 60K and since animated gif stream

in an play the 66K isn't

so bad.  Could be better, but its bad.  And that file was pretty huge

before compiled.  


As for .avi and screen savers.  They are normally something that you

store on a local hard drive

or have someone download.  So the download size for an .avi can be

bigger.  Sure it's not

flash, but you need to take into account that .avis are used on a

differently over the web.  


Download once, play locally. 


Just my .02, unless you have a specific application for a "screen saver"

other than the traditional sense of the word.
