Hiya Dave,


Thanks for the info. Since you been so kind as to clue us in, could you please


add your input on my  "Flash vs. Dir for CD-rom development" post?


Im really more interested in knowing why a .mov or avi. format will play so

much smoother on a lower end processor and why Flash3 player chokes the

processor

when playing the imported images in swf format?  Why such a drastic decrease

in

Flash's performance?


Thanks,


-DG-
