Component 16 Tornado Movie Loader .
Due to a subtle oversight while compiling the tornado.mxp file for the CD, this MXP will only work correctly on a PC. Of course, both Mac and PC will be able to use the component through the supplied example FLAs, but Mac users should use this newly compiled version to install the Tornado component.

In some circumstances when installing components on a Mac, Macromedia Extension Manager will fail to recognize the MXP files when accessing the components directly from the CD. This problem can be avoided by copying the components folder temporarily to your Mac before installing the component, either through double-clicking the MXP file or via the Extension Manager.

Component 9: TabControl.
The TabControl component does not function as intended on Mac. We apologize for any inconvienience this causes.

Due to a bizarre printing error, pages 95 and 96 have been reproduced on pages 97 and 98, therefore omitting the intro to the TrailerMaker component. The real pages 97 and 98 can be seen in this PDF. Apologies to the author, Paul Prudence, and to all the readers.
