Re: FLASH: A Variety of Questions

[Nigel Randsley-Pena]

Rachel,


________The answers_________


1.

Yes. Not as you suggest, but yes. Flash supports a load movie command

that allows you to load an external swf file into another level of your

current swf file. So if you wanted to implement your gif example all you

would have to do is to encapsulae your gif image into a one frame flash

movie.

2.

Macromedia's site has some excelent third party studies on plugin

penetration among surfers. Might not be as specific as you want but it

is the best publicly available data. Check the upper left corner on the

entry page to the mothership's site.

3.

Yes, just like in Director.

4.

Don't fear, I guess you're to used to lingo to feel comfortable with

Flash Action Scripting. Just keep at it and as soon as you're able to

disengage from your aquired habits brought in from director you'll

advance quite quickly. As for the second part of the question, no there

are no limits even if I don't quite grasp what you mean by 'too

confusing'.


Hope this answers your questions,


Nigel
