Re: FLASH: Stuffing Projectors

[Daniel Votino]

Are you sure the second swf is really "gone" . . if they are viewing it on a

mac, I have heard stories that the load movie does not function properly.

Second, If you zip a whole folder, say using winzip and they unzip it there

. . . all should work great.

Wech file gets uncompressed in that folder.  Email me if youre having more

of a problem with it.
