Paul, To detect this, use flashvars. You can send them either as flashvars parameter or as part of swf url: (for IE Object tag) <param name="flashvars" value="var_name='val1'&var_name2='val2'"> OR <param name="movie" value="test.swf?var1=value1&val2=value2" />
Then try to check these vars at _root (as _root.var1 etc). BTW, Actionscript.org uses this to hide emails from spammers. -- Best regards, Gregory_GOusable ================================ http://GOusable.com Flash components development.
