RE: FLASH: Site structure in flash

[Chris Jester (CTS Technical)]

And those sites would be? 

	You also said "Any Flash designer can upgrade to the Generator

Developers

Studio at low cost" ($199.00 from macromedia's web site. This is for the

upgrade, if you don't have the prior generator, which I am sure many don't

have.It will be $499.00 Which is more than Flash itself!)"


What I am trying to say is because flash driven sites are still new to the

market place and with the cost of the generator being so high, those who do

have it I don't know if I would go with them.


They tend to be the very big companies who yes have a lot of customers and

yes do have a lot of $$$ but based on personal experience try calling up one

of those places and getting help with problems like Mime not being set on

the server etc.. I hope you have a headphone jack for your telephone because

you will be sitting there for a long time.

machine in French and for...
