Hi Yes, but that kind of functionality can easily be done with some AJAX know-how. e.g http://www.stripegenerator.com/ Really, from a developers POV, the benefit of Flash was to do the little http fetches from the server without loading the page -- what came to be known as AJAX. It could do it back in 1999 or whenever Flash 3 came out, in a rudimentary way. If you are using Flash just for that then JS/HTTP request can do it just as well, debugging is easier and the license fee is a lot lower :) That's why I stopped using Flash. For design, animation etc, Flash still has the edge although some of the recent SVG improvements are starting to erode that (like resizable SVG backgrounds in Opera 9.5) Cheers James ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
