[thelist] Flash experts?

does the client want the ability to distribute the file?  perhaps have one file
that they can send out easily, and that maybe can't be 'hacked' (i'm thinking
like a client)?  are they afraid of having 50+ files (or 100+ quite easily) to
have to manage?

John's right, it may not be the best choice, but if you know *why* they want it
that way, perhaps you can offer a more informed perspective... offering a client
a better solution is always nice, especially when it shows you understand their
needs better than they do...
