Re: Wired on FLASH

[Geoffrey J. Swenson]

In my original posting about open standards I wasn't aware of the

publishing

of the Flash data format. As far as I'm concerned, it's a great idea.


And yes, my main concern is that the Flash drawing interface was very

hard

to use, even if I did much of the work in CorelDraw and exported to .AI

format,

I still had to deal with a very cumbersome enviroment.


I'm hoping now that other vendors will jump onto this, maybe one of them

will

make an interface more to my liking.
