WRONG!

You can print pages just fine in Flash, you can save pages and any
other content embedded in the Flash file just fine and you can copy
and paste text in Flash as well...provided that the developer LETS
YOU.

As I've said before, Flash isn't a training panty like HTML, if you
want such functionality often times YOU have to code it in. Flash is
so fuckin awesome you can even create your own custom context menus.

The bottom line is...anything you can do with HTML...I can do better
with Flash.

Um, no, it doesn't:

: JPEG Browser Resizing

: GIF Browser Resizing

: Graphic Editor Resizing (what you get with Flash)

I've got some text samples too somewhere, I'll try and get those up
sometime tomorrow when I can. Maybe the problem is that you simply
don't comprehend WHAT anti-aliasing means. *nods*
