that is good.  thank you for that.  it is one of the most abused formats
online right now.  while it is working better lately i hear, it used to
interfer with what i was running on my computer.  like it would take
over the sound.

nothing used to agrivate me more in 1998 than when you used a sound
enabled computer and went to a web site and got to hear unrequested midi
files, for instance.

i am ranting now -- but it is impressive how many advertisements use
flash right now.  i also admit that occasionally, i opt to read the
flash advertisement because i enjoy the page content.

i think that probably your documentation is really helpful.  i enjoyed
it when the permissions were fixed.  as manish mentioned, the format is
not so good for documentation.

when i viewed it, my urge was to get screenshots and put them into html.
before i was dealing with web traffic, the developers insisted on static
and simple web pages.  after a couple of slashdottings, i can see what
they were talking about.  the only bad thing about static web pages and
a group of crazed and bored hackers like are there is that they get
bored too soon.

attention span deficit or something.

is it a huge problem to separate the images into html pages?

also, who is your audience? like who do you think will be reading that
information and using it?
