>From what I've been taught and hav experienced, flash is just like that. I
believe it has to do with the interactivity of flash...if covered how would
it work..of course as the designer you wouldn't cover flash buttons with
regular html.

some things you might want to check out if you can't find a solution with
what you have in mind is:
1)convert the flash animation(if it has no interactivity note above) to
individual pictures and then recompose them as an animated gif...gif's can
be placed behind other layers in DHTML. that would atleast still look like
flash and using the most recent tools like photoshop 5.5 and image ready,
you'd see next to no quality loss.

2)make the whole thing flash...anything you can generate in basic HTML and
the majority of DHTML can be done in flash..you'd jsut have to learn the
techniques which are everywhere. Your only concern with this option is that

if you're pulling from a database..what would you do?....that's why flash
generator was made. :-) generator can pull data from textfields,
databases, or folders and replace it daily/hourly/wheneverly you need it to
change right inside your current flash structure. check the template
function in flash
