Thanks for the information guys. So let's see if I got this straight. vectorstyle is a plugin that will allow me to render my animation in a format that I can then put into a flash document (in which I'll be able to add text). Once the animation is rendered and put into flash, am I limited to having it run from start to finish inside the flash movie, or can I, using flah, include the necessary controls so that the user can rewind, pause etc.? I had a look at the description and examples on the Eovia site. The illustrations are all a little cartoony in style. Is that typically the end result when using vector style? This job isnt for publication on the web, so it doesnt need to be particularly light. Thanks again, H&B
