Alright John I'll make that wish...

And I should say that overall I am still ecstatic about my love affair with

Flash 5  ;-)


Like zefrank I used Flash 4 for CD ROM production and all sorts of

otherstuff- often importing my flash into adobe premiere or after effects-

And in these instances the fact that Flash media plays back from RAM doesn't

matter because what I'm creating, in the end, ceases to be Flash media.


Flash has probably been the tool I've used most over the past 2 years and

only about a quarter of my work has been Web based. This is all to

Macromedias credit for making a brilliant piece of software that in general

is very versatile.


Don't get me wrong though, your feedback is invaluable, informative and

appreciated.

=)

Regards

Lachlan
