I've looked in the docs but I don't see a complete listing of all the image types that the Rev image object can display. I think it can be png, jpeg, gif, animated gif but I'm sure there are more. Can someone point me to the list? I want to make an answer file with type dialog for all of the

I always thought it was smart that rev tied into flash. Allowed a path onto the web. Xtalk and flash share some deep object and widget similarities. But I am a bit confused as to how rev and flash are integrated. Anyone point me to a doc or web page or tube video that explains rev's flash
