I think what the statement was trying to say is that form fields in netscape
and IE (not to mention MAC VS. PC) will have a different appearance on
screen as well as printing. This by the way becomes painfully true if your
get a chance to see your carefully layed out site on an unfamilier system.
Flash produces exactly the same lines and shapes no mater what the platform
which makes the on screen version as well as the printed version the same on
all platforms.

I happened upon this excerpt from a post on the
macromedia.dreamweaver.coursebuilder newsgroup:

... and Flash 4 for vector-based animations
and interactions when cross-platform and print-based fidelity are
important (which is to say forms and the like otherwise do not
reproduce on the client consistently between platforms and versions,
not at all, and Flash 4 is a *godsend* when that matters). ...

Just because this is a new idea to me, I'd like to hear comments on this
statement. I don't know enough about doing forms in Flash (nor the deeper
CGI
stuff about forms in HTML, for that matter) to be able to evaluate Richard's
assertion above.

TIA,
