    Stop flv-container swf buffering

    Hi, We have a swf that plays an flv on the homepage of one of our websites. Unfortunately the site is exceeding its bandwidth because everytime someone arrives on the homepage the flv (at approx 30Mb) is buffering whether they watch the video or not. Is there any way to prevent the video...

    Antonym of Treehugger?

    Hi, Does anyone have any thoughts on what the antonym of 'treehugger', 'ecowarrior', 'environmentalist' and similar words might be? I would say it's probably 'normal' (being a crazy treehugger type myself), but I'm looking for something that really describes that extra-polluting...

    Access denied error when saving

    Hi, A colleague and I often have to edit HTML files from the shared network drive. He has DW8 and I have DW MX. If I've downloaded the files from where they live on our FTP, he can't save changes in DW to the file on the shared drive, and if he's downloaded them then I can't save changes back...

    'Proper' grammar

    I've just started studying Latin and Ancient Greek, and I'm totally puzzled by most of the new grammatical terms that I've been introduced to. Seems that (in the UK at least), the older generations were taught a whole lot more about grammer than I was (I'm in my mid-twenties). We basically did...

    'Green' but not green

    I know you are all good with words (that'll be why you're in this forum!), so can any of you think of good words meaning 'green', as in environmentally friendly, but not actually having anything with the word 'green' itself? We're trying to come up with clever and snappy names for a project...

Anyone care to discuss the difference? :-) I know you lot love a good discussion!! -------------------------------------- I was gonna take over the world but...

    Can I fill in an Acrobat 6.0 form in Reader?

    I think I may be confusing myself :-( I've created a form with text fields and checkboxes in Acrobat 6.0. I thought I would be able to fill in this form in Acrobat Reader, save it and send it, but it doesn't work in either my Reader 5.0 or I.T.'s Reader 7.0.8. What have I done wrong? Or can...

    Despatch or dispatch?

    One of my colleagues asked me what the difference is between 'dispatch' and 'despatch'. Having Googled it, it would appear that the 'i' is generally US spelling and the 'e' is generally British English spelling. Does anyone know? Becki -------------------------------------- I was gonna take...

    Gone for a ball of chalk...?

    I've been reading this forum with interest, and I think you may be able to help me :) Does anyone know the origin of the above phrase? It's difficult to explain what it means, but if you Google it it seems to bring up various parliamentary quotes! 'Ball and chalk' means 'walk' in Cockney...
