Re: FLASH: Generator Newbie data source questions

Thanks, Mike and Philip, I got step 1 working correctly.


But question 2 (fwd'd below) still has me stumped. I'm on 

a Mac, and there doesn't seem to be any documentation that 

describes how to go into Offline mode for Mac. 


Also had checked out Chrissy's tutorial yesterday, and 

couldn't get an uncorrupted version of the pdf enclosed 

in it. I had gone through the .flas though, and pieced 

together some info from them for myself. :) Those helped

a lot for other stuff.


Thanks for indulging me...my department is trying to

convince our recalcitrant higher-ups to please please

please get Generator and I've been charged with whipping

something together to convince them why.
