• I have always wondered - why do flash movies always get forwarded around as a direct link to the swf instead of the html page? Is it so you can resize the movie yourself? For toons sometimes its good, but many swfs have bitmap photos/artwork where the quality is degraded if it is at the wrong size. Also there is the problem of the browser not being the same dimensions as the original swf, which sometimes causes you to see things off the stage which you are not supposed to (on this movie there is a scene near the beginning where a few people are cut out and rising upward in front of a crowd - this scene gets messed up if your browser is the wrong size) Not meant to derail - Please continue to discuss the original link - which I thought was very interesting - but I would like to know the answer to my question
• I really hated that. It's sentimentalism totally undermined the message, for me.
• Well meaning, but like blue said, sentimental, overwrought.
