RE: FLASH: Stronger Flash Player Attn: JD

[JGL]

I'm not John Dowdell, but I can tell you this:


The F5 player is a little over 300k (So it can be somewhat-painlessly

delivered via the web, the player that is). That equates to it's abilty to

handle only a certain amount of simultaneous content.


The shockwave player is much much bigger in file size and thus is able to

handle the big stuff . . . tons better.


Everything has trade-offs.


If you are looking for exact amounts, that afaik would almost be impossible

to determine.

Hi Mr. J. Dowdell:


Would you be able to elaborate on this matter.


What is a websized load (maximum)?

Is there a macromedia technote or other document that

lists the differences between the use of flash vs.

director for Animation?

How does a degradation in performance of any kind

(with the use of flash) manifest itself and when

could I expect this to occur?


Thanks



You're right... the Macromedia Flash Player is

designed for web-sized

loads. If you have lots of media to manage, then

Director does this tonsbetter.
