Re: FLASH: 3D NOT Wow!

[Wayne Townsend]

Ken,


I did in fact check it out on a 28.8 / 33.6 and 56k modem line.


The intensive ones, Bill Gates stand up comic "The Gates of Hell" and 

the Jay Leno "Virtual Jay" one both operated fine, with the exception 

of some occasional small pauses in the Gates one at 28.8.


I thought another one, the Athlete direct World was quite well done. 

Although it's a meg download.


So I respectfully disagree.  This stuff streams, and is not just for 

dsl/cable obviously.


I would love to see this quality of scripted 3D in the next release 

of flash.  Boy, would I ever.

Not on my system Ken.  It came across beautifully for me.  But I'll 

have to go check this out on some other older systems and see.


>BTW any stats regarding DSL/Cable penetration currently?


Funny you should ask because I'm researching that subject for a new 

project.  I'll let you know.


Best,
