Wine has come a long way since my first encounters with it a few years back and run a surprising amount of Windows-based software. I don't know how far its support for Flash has come, but I do remember running a version of Flash under Wine before. It was a bit buggy (some dialogues didn't always work) and crashed more than it might have normally on Windows, but it was OK at a push to get work done. Nowadays I don't really do anything with Flash, as it's a pita to get it optimised for search engines, accessibility just isn't up to scratch, and it takes a lot longer to build a whole dynamic site with it. <end type="flash bashing"/> Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
