Thank you Alan and thanks to Gail, Tony,  Mark, and Keith for their off-list
emails.

Everyone agreed that Corel Rave's Flash abilities were alright for the
casual user and basic animation, they lack advanced scripting support, are
unable to handle transparency, and even crashed occasionally.  The big
determiner was that scripting was a very important part of interacting with
the viewer in custom interfaces and that Rave was very limited there.
