You can, by the way, embed anything you want in Flash. Just depends upon how sophisticated you want to be with developing JFIF files. Also, you can bounce in even on some of the rather mundane MacroMedia stuff and do some scripting even with JSP. It is pretty easy to improve on the JRun-Flash Generator MacroMedia server. That is pretty much out now with the new Flash MX anyway. Just some notes.
Mark makes fun of my Flash stuff in his rather odd way, but I expect I will retire on it in less than a year, while he is still hitting the bottle to kill the pain and working weekends. I fully intend to drop-in from time-to-time to give him postcards from my latest destination. ///;-) Partly kidding, Mark. While I would not introduce you to a friend, I don't think you are so bad.
