RE: FLASH: FLASH : getting a bit confused !

[Ben Deroo]

Hi Adam,

Thank you for your information. I guess it isn't black or white, but

different shades of gray. The solution therefore lies only within

experience, I guess with enough practice things become clearer.


The machine I use is fairly powerfull ( amd k6-2  350  64SDram ) but I must

make things that can be seen by users with weaker processors. I'll do my

very best .


Ben
