isn't it possible that all the 3d stuff for these isn't done in flash at 

all? esp. since flash works great with importing bitmaps. look at 

<http://www.theremediproject.com>. that butterfly ain't real folks. it 

was rendered in InfiniD, exported as a series of butmaps and imported 

into flash. then just align them into a symbol as a movie. its that 

simple. keep the dimensions small, (like they do on the matinee site) and 

it will run fast. zippy even!!


designers!! stop thinking application specific design. just because you 

do a flash site, doesn't mean it has to or even should begin there. like 

the man says, "think outside the box."
