Re: FLASH: publishing large file in Flash on a CD

[Travis Alber]

I'm no expert, but i think it has something to do with flash being built to

handle vector images, which are represented by calculations, while director

was built to import bitmaps (comprised of pixels -- although until recently

only 8 bit res).


This article isn't directly related but might be a bit helpful -- it's about

the rendering speed of director (shockwave) vs. flash and talked a little

about image handling.
