I've not seen any of your sites showing that off, so I'm sorry. Got any
fun examples? I was kinda thrown in the ActionScript deep-end about 2
months ago and had to learn really quickly. We're doing some pretty fab
stuff with websockets and java-generated Flash (Macromedia Flex server
taking MPEG videos and real-time assembling interactive Flash conainers
around them and spitting the whole thing out to Flash movies running on
end-users (web) browsers. It's exciting, but way over my head much of
the time. In Jan I'll be working on my own Java classes for Flex...
that'll be frightening as I'm NOT a programmer at heart LOL. Have you
played with AS3 yet?
