>Hi all,

>

>Would you please have a look at:

>

>http://accesson.absolute.net/emailad

>

>And let us know how it works for you.

>It's an apple ad by chiat day.  A converted QT mov.

>

>It's a Quicktime movie playing *within* a flash file test.  So, 

>flash is playing the QT, not QT flaying flash.

>

>

>If you respond, pls include:

>

>your cpu type & speed

>browser & version

>connection

>

>FYI, the Flash version of this movie is about 640k, but also about 

>20% less in size than the QT version.

>

>You can compare to the original quicktime at:

>

>http://www.apple.com/imac/imac99/theater/index.html

>

>Is the quality comparable enough?

>

>I think that hosting a QT within flash is a viable method of 

>delivery for some cases.  They sure beat the heck out of banner ads. 

>What do you think?

>

>Note, we will be loading these in the background from our site, so 

>there won't be a need for a preloader, they just become available as 

>an option to the audience as they are loaded in our ad window. 

>Since the audience is not waiting for them, load is not an issue. 

>But I put in a preloader for this test.

>

>Note2, other programs you have running like checking mail etc, could 

>pause it, as with any fla mov.

>

>Thanks for your help!

>

>ATB,
