It could. That's why there's a distinction in privileges between clicking a link, and clicking an application. Inside a document browser we're used to jumping hither thither and yon, and we want to be protected from ill effects. In a trusted application installed on your machine there can be considerably more leeway. (I'm assuming you're already aware of the options to create standalone applications with the Macromedia Flash technology, in addition to the common in-browser usage.) jd John Dowdell, Macromedia Developer Support, San Francisco (Best to reply on-list, to avoid my mighty spam filters!)
