Thanks for the explanation, Tracy.  I didn't really understand what
this IFrame stuff was doing until now.  This is a really backwards
hack.  Does anyone know if Adobe is going to add an <mx:Browser>
component or something similar?  I am updating an old app that has
hundreds of HTM files, but it needs to work as a standalone app as
well as a web version, and it looks like I am going to have to convert
all those files to little SWFs, because I can't use a browser to run
my program.
