Agreed. And yet that's exactly what's implied in the constant talk about how Flash is a "vector" application with respect to its graphics. Well, Authorware also has vector-graphical capabilities, in some ways much superior to Flash's (e.g. Flash can't draw lines at runtime), but you don't hear very much about this. It is possible to make entirely professional interfaces using only vector graphics in Authorware, and thus get fast loading times.
