Hello, all:

I have a great need, and, this being the community I frequent most, I beg all answers you would proffer to the following questions:

Do any of you have experience with Macromedia/Adobe Flash?

If so, is the learning curve terrifically steep?

How is it sold? Is it going to be part of any Adobe bundles that you know of? What is the rock bottom price? (... and etc.)

Is it, as it appears to be, a very good way of presenting material that cannot just be swiped by right-click or by robbing it from code? This would include audio, video, images and even text that I seek to safeguard. I have an extremely gun-shy client, with music and text, primarily, but images, secondarily, that he wants to make it as difficult as possible for the normal computer user to steal. Does this make sense?

I'm a quasi-geek myself, and I have found Flash to be the most difficult nut to crack in terms of swiping things. Would you all agree?

Thanks to all of you for your time.
