John,
I really feel like an idiot, but this is not the first time.
Thank you for you instructions and patience, and your reply.
I also can't cook rice to save my life!

You just did so here... you can check it in the archive too:
http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/pipermail/flashcoders/2005-October/
thread.html
First post was "Looping Loaded Sound", which you actually sent as a
reply to a message in a "Flash in Firefox" in conversation, which
in turn had hijacked a thread titled "tracking inactivity".
Then there was a thread you tried to start titled simply "ming",
but this was hidden within a discussion about cancelling a loading
process.
A later request on right-clicking was shoved into a "Flash vs Flex"
discussion, which many people may have deleted as a group.
The cause of all this was hitting "Reply" in your emailer and
changing the title -- this doesn't change the instructions in the
email header, and so you get lost in the archives, and don't get
seen by those of us who use a threaded email reader.
Just hit "New" for a new message, paste in the address, and you'll
get better visibility. Use a good thread title (like the one you
have above), and clearly ask something that others can answer, and
you'll usually get good results on mailing lists! :)
... but in this latest case, I haven't tested for ways to keep
rendering during a held right-click, and so don't have a good way
to reply to the other thread, sorry.

Spam killed my private email -- public record is best, thanks.
