This is what I did. It's so simple that I kick myself for not thinking
this up sooner.

I took a qtvr, of this powerbook. Rotated it by hand in small increments,
snapshoted each view that I wanted.

Photoshoped 'em just to crop.

I wound up with 45 views. (pics).

Brough them into flash one by one. All on their own frame, but no
tweening, Jay.

Holy cow, only 120k. Dang, I love Flash's graphics compression.

Set up the buttons & tell targets.

voila! A faux QTVR.

You guys need to get into this, because there's a lot of money in it; net
shopping has become big, in case you haven't heard. We'll change every
shopping site out there.

Where the talent comes into play, is in as a director, deciding on the
product at hand, and how to best rotate it, considering *important
information* vs. filesize.

If any of you get your act together on this, webstaffing.net might be able
to give you some work.

I'm sure not going to do it all myself, as I have my farm to run. In fact,
I'm late now for patrol of the fences, with my big-bad MagLight and my Blue
Heeler at my side.

See ya.

ATB,
