I've exported video files from After Effects 5 into swf and they're pretty large. Does Flix do a better job with the compression? What's the avg size of say, a 30sec clip?

I was wondering what kind of interactivity is supportd with FLIX - is it about the same as the wired sprite interactivity available through quicktime? Could I overlay buttons in the movie which would...

Probably a pretty basic thing here - but I'd like to know how to mix flash and html on a page, such that the flash buttons change the content of an html document on the same page. Pretty much what...

I put a trace on the 'sliding' variable right after the onClipEvent and my suspicions were confirmed. It registers false when it gets near the target, but becomes true again when the clip is dragged...

thanks - I though that would work, but there is one problem: I think the sliding variable changes to true if you move the clip away from the place it stops. Interesting, I can't even drag it to the...
