I respect and agree with your comments Donald, I just want to put flash in another perspective...
If flash is used NOT as web site but as a stand alone tool for creating MM applications, then a mix of rebol and flash it REALLY nice using the best of both it allows us to fill rebol's current MM holes. my two cents! -Max ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donald Dalley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 10:49 AM Subject: [REBOL] Flash tech?
