It's certainly very clever, but not really very useful; you would need to target Flash Player 1 or 2 (circa 1997; the current player is 10.1) when publishing your FLAs to produce SWFs it could read. It uses SVG to do the rendering, which also limits its browser support... b. -- <bas(a)bas.me.uk> <URL:http://bas.me.uk/> `Zombies are defined by behavior and can be "explained" by many handy shortcuts: the supernatural, radiation, a virus, space visitors, secret weapons, a Harvard education and so on.' -- Roger Ebert

In the Flash Gordon films the heroes would be trapped, seemingly unable to escape their impending doom, only for the audience to discover the following week that they released themselves easily. Whereas the iPad seemed all set to be released without difficulty but now is suddenly trapped. -- Bruce Horrocks Surrey England (bruce at scorecrow dot com)

I know, but it's still a shame. Saw a good pic of it somewhere, with the CPU package sliced vertically showing the plane of the CPU itself and two memory chips offset. Found it - http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/10/04/06/apples_ipad_a4_processor_x_rayed_to_reveal_three_layer_design.html Cheers - Jaimie -- That's what I remembered, too, but Google told me differently.
