RE: FLASH: flash load movie issues!!56k modem BANNED!

[Phillip Kerman]

I suspect that the original post is slightly exagerrated--either that or the

IT people really are stupid.


You are familiar with Flash's "Bandwidth Profiler" aren't you?  Just

asking--I know it doesn't do everything, but it's a great design and does

work for many things.
