Sounds logical except for one thing:

Flash imports the swf that LiveMotion exports like crap. From the initial
tests I tried I'd lose anywhere between 50-90% of the information of the
swf. Apparently the explanation for this is that they both export to swf
that is acceptable to be played with the existing Flash player, however due
to differences in programming export the exported swf's do not import into
the other program very well. Would be interesting though...

HTH,

if...
adobe can archive an HTML site in PDF
and PDF is what 'adobe LIVE MOTION' runs on, (i think... :)
then...
adobe 'live motion' imports PDF
and...
exports .swf,
and...
flash imports .swf...
then...
HTML becomes an object [or a symbol] in flash!!!

that means we can use the existing data on the web as content... :)

can any one try this?

please... :)

thanks,

dave matthews

Or, if you have Adobe Acrobat, you can download the web capture plug-in from
their website. I use it as a handy way of archiving websites in PDF format
with all the links intact. Moreover, you get better results printing from
PDF than direct from browser.

The only drawback is that it doesn't do Flash files. But great for HTML
based sites!
