PNG is the native file format of Fireworks. Macromedia Flash 5 recognizes

this. It asks you if you'd like the bitmap representation, or (if

available) the vector representation.


If you're bringing in hundreds of PNGs at a slot, then that could get

tiresome to okay. (It could also get tiresome to download too, but that's

another issue.)


Would it be nice to offer a "Yes to all" button on there? Sure. Where's the

best place to send such a change-request?

Still, I might gently request that you not employ that automobile as a

helicopter, such was not its intended purpose, and such practices may very

well have undesired side effects. ;-)
