Thanks for the comments Jesse. One question on Director though (before going waaay OT), is it possible to perform local file write operations while still in the browser, or do these have to be projector files, i.e. standalone executables?

I have a .NET server/SQL server too, but Im hoping this can all be done client-side so I don't have to upload the data and then re-download it. Any thoughts/ideas appreciated.
