Greetings, all:

I urgently need to create a self-running 3-5 minute kiosk-type product
demo,
(preferably) with AVI, MPG or QuickTime screencam-type video captures of
the software product in use. 

I will probably need to create two versions of this demo, one to run on
CD-ROM, and another that will be viewable in a any Flash-enabled web
browser. I've already purchased Flash 5 and Swish 1.51, as well.)

1.) Do I need to buy Director, rather than just Flash in order to
incorporate video in my Demo? 

2.) Alternatively, Do I need to buy Shockwave (still sold as a separate
program?) in order to create a web-based version?

3.) Most importantly, are their any alternative, third-party alternative
programs that will let me accomplish this without having to give
Macromedia any more of my money? ;^)

Thanks in advance for your reccomendations!

- Mike Russell
