Re: FLASH: what is the difference between .spl and .swf?

SPL was the extension for FutureSplash and Flash 1. There is no longer

any difference in exported file in the two formats. The only concern is

to make sure the MIME is set for Flash and not just FutureSplash before

you change the files to SWFs.

In Flash 2 there was a small difference that was slightly better for the

original Web TV box with the original software.
