Summary
Together, the interactive power of Shockwave and the speedy glitz of Flash can enliven Web content like
nothing else. Dreamweaver is extremely well suited for integrating and displaying Shockwave and Flash
movies. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
n Saving your Director movies as Shockwave movies enables them to be played on the Web with
the help of a plugin or ActiveX control.
n Flash movies are a way to enhance your Web pages with vector animations, interactivity, and
streaming audio.
