One of my favorite online newspaper publishes it's paper version in a similar way, http://papeldigital.info/lt/ This is a flash object with ActionScript, the page thumbnails are rendered as JPEG-2000 images. The lot is either compressed or encrypted, I haven't been able to dissect these objects; anyway my win2k partition hasn't been bootable for a while (who cares) so I haven't tried recently to load those into Macromedia Flash Editor. Didn't work last time. Am afraid doing this is difficult with open and free tools. If you're on Linux you can check out F4L (Flash for Linux) they're now in version: 0.2.1, homepage: http://f4l.sf.net/ Regards Sveinn ? Felli
