RE: FLASH: Flash making QuickTime--why so little support and development?

[Damian Morton]

If only flah had multiple heirarchical timelines like flash does.... I might

even be tempted to work in QT only. As it is, QT only has one timeline, and

sprite layers, which dont benefit from the varieties of compression that the

rest of QT does.


In a few years, people will look back on QT as being way ahead of its time,

as with many Apple technologies.


Can we have QT in Flash ratehr than Flash in QT? That would be very very

nice thank you very much.
