   Thanks, Shawn; now if you'd just convince the casual "we just want to update a couple of pictures and some contact info" folks that they need to pay for whole new website, we'll be all set to go :)

   Really?  Why?  I've not heard that from anyone else here (or anywhere)... 

Cheers,

This is going to be hard to nearly impossible to do. This is exactly why
one should not put everything in a Flash movie (and it is more properly
called a Flash movie instead of a Flash site).

My advice is start over with HTML and CSS, which are designed to be
platform-independent and will work even on platforms that Adobe doesn't
think it's in their best interest to support.
