That's funny ... Bill Gates became one of the richest men in the world by
distributing his beta software out so beta testers .. i.e.. "anyone" could
download it.
Now on a side note:
Isn't it conceivable if a competitor really wanted their code he/she could
get someone from their company or outside temp to get into the beta? hmmmm
Give it a rest.
The prime ordeal here is Macromedia should allow anyone to download the beta
and give user input instead of downloading a patch each Monday I come to
work. As far as NDA is concerned just don't reproduce what you see without
consent.. which "I thought software reverse Engineering was illegal
anyways".
My two Pennies.

I don't want to buy software if I am not allowed to make content changes of
what features I asked for, even if I was denied beta.
I agree don't slander the guy, but there are bigger fish to fry than peskey
little guys like us who want to know what to exspect when our boss walks in

It looks cool.. long on the intro wait unless that was your loader. ( might
put something there about the loading if so ) I like the text and color
scheme.
The only thing is that your email causes an error on your page. It pops the
mail fine.. just also spawns a url as well.
Good job.

If (Name eq "")

Oh please please please tell me that you are just kidding with your
implication that MM should be more like MS! I've been so pleased with myself
having had a hand in running PowerPoint out of our department, thanks to
primarily to Flash...
I mean, really, think of how great those programs are. The world is his beta
tester, and there are still so many problems with his software. (Yes, a
broad generalization, compiled among the innumerous complaints and my own
personal problems with certain "features" found in Publisher and FrontPage.)
Is their stock publicly traded? I don't believe I've ever investigated that.

Hi list
How would I go about creating a flash screensaver once I have completed my
animation? Preferably mac & pc.
Is the best way to import the swf into director, or is there another utility
that converts swf to screensavers?
Thanks in advance
Guy

there are several such programs on the market. i use one by macsourcery
called Screentime for Flash. screensavers are different on the 2 platforms,
you need mac & pc versions of the program.

Best way is to import a movie into quicktime or avi,
and find one of those packages that converts it to a
animated .gif, and then import that into flash.
Problem is, you can run into mucho bandwidth problem.
I'd still just take the video, convert to RealVideo,
and provide a link to the streaming file.
Does anyone know if Macromedia is planning on
supporting streaming media in Flash 5.0?
Thanks,
David Sparks
