Re: FLASH: Basic questions

[Michael Greenberg]

Hi Ray,

Fancy seeing you here. Another Freehand addict here... I love it:):)


1- Be more specific here are you talking just like scaling up by setting a

property.


2- Not sure about this one but I would love to know an answer from someone

who does.


A pleasure as always Ray and see you in the Freehand funny pages and I can

think lotsa applications in Flash in the cartography realm.


Can't wait to see what you do with it.


Cheers,

Mike
