Hi James,

I wonder if the png files are working because you started off using the
proxied mode, which may have then wrapped the png's in swfs for deployment,
so when you then switch to solo mode, the swfs are still there from before
and are downloaded?

It does seem to me that for non realtime generated media, it should at least
be possible to do this and that if it were clear how to do this, that it
would be a nice feature.

Just a thought.
