Although being built, paid for and supported by the maker of Flash no doubt helped in the process. :wink: You might send a request to Adobe asking for the file but don't be disappointed if they don't even answer...After all, the whole thing is an ad for Flash.

You really should test these kinds of links before posting them here!!!

That would have been really cool, but I can't imagine how complicated that would be! (don't even know if it's possible in Flash)

Maybe we should be buying Adobe stock?

I dunno - it might be a good time to buy, considering it's close to its lowest point in the last 5 years...

It doesn't play automatically
True, I had just assumed ( 
) that Flash included that kind of variable in the downloaded file as does QuickTime or many other 'media players.' While you must move the 'slider' to get any movement, you can always wait until the loading is complete and move it all the way to the end for the whole 'show.' You would probably do better buying their stock than attempting to create such a project with their software. Remember, these people not only are experts in how to use Flash, they built the darned thing and probably also used all the 'undocumented' tricks that very few others even know! It is "fashy" but I still haven't seen it used successfully to do anything really useful by even competent users. OTOH, there is an over abundance of electron wasting garbage being exhibited, IMHO. I wonder if anyone has the time or inclination to compare the file size of that file and it's image quality with a competently executed CGG from somewhere else. Of course, it is probably easier to get the file displayed so nicely on a computer as the Flash version. And, in the end, that's all some people care about. 
Grumpy!

I have some clients like that...they want their web site updated to be "more dynamic" - which to them, means things that move. How to explain to them nicely that just because it moves, doesn't mean it's either truly dynamic or good? And in fact could be very, very bad. That those slide shows that play automatically are actually REALLY annoying beyond visit #1?

Especially that have graphic displays, often Flash videos that must have taken hours to create or several hundred dollars to acquire and yet do absolutely nothing to even explain what the site might be about!!! Do these people think I got there by mistake? Or maybe I'm getting paid per mouse click? "HellO?"
Thankfully, these things seem to be fading away...
