Do you have any demos? LOL... That's not a surprising response Andrew... While I don't have any samples handy at this time, I previously did this using the HiCaption extension [http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/extensions/hicaption/], which worked well and was pretty straight-forward to use. HiSoftware has a sample video available at: http://www.hisoftware.com/hmccflash/hmccfl1demo.htm - quality could be a bit better (Frame rate), but a decent sample of how it turned out. Clicking on the "CC" opens and closes the caption area - nice. Cheers! JF
