Seth, look forward to hearing whether you come up with any new ideas.

But I can't imagine a scenario that would provide a good vector-based

solution for Flash.  If you have an avi, you wouldn't want to put the

whole thing into Flash anyway -- you'd still have to select out frames

and do a vector animation to tie them together to get a decent file

size, so you might as well just start out with a collection of relevant

screen capture bitmaps, and then crop and vector-animate as necessary.

Maybe it would be a good way to get animated content into Director?

(don't know since I haven't used it, but I notice at the demoshield site

they portray themselves as a faster alternative to Director,

content-creationwise).


Always good to hear of new tool possibilities anyway, so thanks for

posting if you find something useful.


Helen
