Flash swfs

[Simon Lord]

Yeah, that only takes care of half the features.  Quicktime does a good 
job at playing swfs which were made using the timeline to generate 
animation.  Any interaction you normally see if just a hotspot pointing 
to a new location on that timeline.

However, when coding directly in ActionScript and NOT using the 
timeline at all it fails to run in Quicktime - thus fails in MetaCard.  
That sucks.

Flash and MetaCard each have drawbacks, but combined they make for an 
extremely powerful tool.  Or *would* have made for a powerful tool if 
it was directly supported as an object that could be embedded and 
played.  Anyhow, I didn't really expect it to be supported, was just 
hoping it was.

Thanks!
