Either I'm missing something here, or you are. Please let me know if it's the

former!


Generator provides the only means I know of to pass variables to a Flash movie

-- not only modifying its text content, and graphics, but even such subtle

things as alpha channel levels for goodness' sake!


So now Flash 4 comes along and allows the visitor to a site to *enter*

variables.


Next, when Generator 2 is released, those very same variables that have been

entered into a Flash 4 movie can be fed back into that very same movie,

modifying it in jillions of ways.


Instant customized response? Flash movies designed by visitor input?


I fail to see a lack of need -- I see vast possibilities!
