That may be the problem where you are trying to mix given that there is IPC stuff going on between flash and mozilla..

Even from linux to BSD is generally trivial for most applications (some network stuff can be a bit odd becuase the structure names in the include files can be different why linux has __USE_BSD and __FAVOR_BSD to try to use the BSD names in things like IP/UDP/TCP headers and all - not something most programs do). -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378 http://www.sacaug.org/ Sacramento Asterisk Users Group
