Browser rules apply. Many browsers now offer an offscreen compositing option, triggered by the WMODE attribute in the OBJECT & EMBED tags for a plugin. The plugin doesn't much care whether the display goes directly to screen, or to the browser's offscreen drawing buffer before hitting the screen... that WMODE lets the plugin know where to pipe its pixels, but (from all I've seen) doesn't affect what the plugin itself does. I haven't checked whether the various browsers send a mouseclick to the elements it drew from markup, or to that magic rectangle it received from a plugin and merged with its own content. The browser makers tend not to document combinations of features like this. (I wish they did, but they don't.) What you tested sounds plausible to me, but the above general context is all I have on how this drawing is done, sorry. jd -- John Dowdell . Macromedia Developer Support .
