RE: Projector...

[Andrew Timberlake]

Thanks John


The only reason I would use a projector at this point in time is to show

someone a flash movie/design if they don't have the plugin. I can't even

send him/her to MM's website to download a plugin and then open a browser

*with a URL* with further flash.


As a website designer I need to sell Flash to a client. If I can convince

him on what flash can do without him going through the hassles of

downloading the plugin then that's the route I want to take!


I appreciate that if the client already has a plugin then I would also

prefer to run a movie through the browser from the beginning.

But, you can't FSCommand a browser to open in FullScreen ;-)


Thanks for your time.
