Curtis,
I have to be honest. If you have a choice between bringing your Flash
animations in Authorware or Director. Please save yourself a headache
and use Director.
One of my big problems with Authorware is speed. It tends to make the
animations drag. Either Shocked or on CD.
Do it in Director,
Michael

Has anyone used Flash within Authorware?
We have recently purchased Authorware and I have been looking into
using
Flash within it. I'm not trying to control Flash from within
Authorware,
rather, I want to get some high-quality, small-sized animation for an
opening sequence.
For authoring, from what I can tell, the Flash Asset Xtra for
Authorware is
the same one used for Director. (true?) My understanding is that you
either
need the Flash Asset Xtra ($199) or deal with ActiveX nonsense.
<gripe>I know it has been mentioned before, but it seems rather
underhanded
to charge an xtra two hundred bucks to someone who just paid that same
amount for flash, and two thousand dollars for Authorware.</gripe>
Here's what I'm foggy on: On the client side for web deployment, my
understanding is that the client browser needs the _latest_ Authorware
Shockwave plugin, which includes some flashifying. If they have an
older
version of the plugin, does ye olde Flash plugin work, or can they
just get
one small file to update their Authorware Shockwave plugin?
For regular (non-Shockwave) packaged Authorware distribution, you need
to
include a Flash runtime. Does this need to be installed on the client
machine, or is this a behind-the-scenes deal?
There is a rather incomplete Technote #12969 that addresses some of
these
issues, and there are some large downloads that might have more info.
