| Once you've learned some Flash basics via either
Flash's online help or a tutorial book, you can
revisit the hacks that piqued your curiosity. I considered beginning
the book with tips on optimization, security, and similar topics. But
I deci...

| This hack can be
used with other video-friendly hacks [Hack #8] to make your static bitmaps
more interesting [Hack #3].
Flash uses a vector-based rendering engine, which
