Using a "Shockwave safe" xtra it is possible to access the local drive while in the browser. One xtra I've used for this is vList: http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/vlist.html It writes data out in a custom binary format - but that was fine for my needs (can save image data, any cast data, etc.). There are other Shockwave safe xtras that do local disk access. SetPrefs/GetPrefs works in both the brwoser + projector but is limited to text only, and to a small amount of data per write (I forget exactly how much - 10-20k as I recall). --Roy -- _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
