Thanks Helen,


    You just saved me a ton of download time....  that is basically the 

problem i am seeing with most of the imaging programs that i have found that 

export swf (i.e. fireworks3..) grrr    oh well, i think i will just end up 

using FW3 since it allows you to export using the file's name with the swf 

extension so i dont have to rename them all...  loooks like a looooong night 

ahead...
