Hey, I'll be the first to admit that I use bitmaps from time to time as well
in Flash... there's no way a vector image can look identical to a bitmap
with a "sane" file size...

Er, yup Jason. But as much as we preach vector vector vector (and I've
been on the pulpit for more than a decade), there are *lots* of times
that folks need to use bitmaps. There's a right time for each.

Sidebar: look at the cartoons on TV and we'll see things in vectors
(characters) and things in bitmaps (backgrounds).
