    yeah. that's what i meant. maybe it's that you have your preloader

animation cycle once even if the movie (or scene or however you have it

broken up) is loaded. if that's the case, never mind. the loading animations

are great. i was just thinking about loading time for people on dial-up.


on detection:

check out one of these three thingy's for detection:

MM Flash Deployment Kit http://macromedia.com/exchange  free

Colin Moock's "FPI" http://www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/detection/moockfpi/

requires link to moock.org

Browser Hawk - http://www.browserhawk.com - about a hundred bucks. - i just

started looking at this one - it's a server app written in Java that serves

custom content based on browser, plugins, platform, etc. etc. etc... -might

be overkill for Qrime.


There are ways around the Mac/IE <= 4 thing; and each of these address this

issue.

There is more than one way (while you are musing on the origins of

indiscriminate violence) to skin a cat.


I love this piece of art. Thanks for making it.
