Re: FLASH: Macromedia Codebase?

[Cheri Harder]

I think the client's point here is the HTML page calling the .cab file on

the MM site as part of the code the page will have to read.  I don't know

how this affects the load time, but I do see his concern.  Does the .cab

file have to come across to the client machine & get uncompressed to handle

the Flash content?  He is trying to say that the load time/size should

include the .cab file as well as the .swf file.  I don't think he is trying

to say the .swf file itself is bigger....
