I use a different program to contain my swfs. What I do in situations like this is to send a call out to the main application that starts whatever process, but it isn't expecting any return. When the main application _has_ a return, it calls a callback in the file that then takes the return and does whatever with it. It may not be the most wonderful system in the world, but it works. -Amy
