Another example of a *really* delayed post. This was written 3 days ago!
Why is it only now posting?

Well, I guess a final question on the topic (if anyone could please spare a
moment) is this: How would you anticipate the following
scrollable/selectable area was achieved?

http://www.dennisinter.com/millenniumdreamers/MD.html

My first guess is that it's a movie floating on top of another movie, and
the
pixel by pixel location of that movie is being altered with the scroll bar
via
tell_target or something.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.
Neal

Oh, and John - thanks for the info. Regarding Generator, I wasn't meaning
to
bash it - just looking for someone to confirm/dispell some concerns that I
have heard sited before. Don't really know if there's anything to them or
not. All part of my attempt to gather information about our options, prior
to starting a project. ;-)
