Yes, I used the VB Script Xtra before to control the monster they call powerpoint (Uargh!). (Fantastic stuff BTW, and thanks, Eugene, if you are reading this!).
Using MIAWs would be fine if they (client, my Creative Dir) wouldn't want their own transparent dropdown menu, they want to to see teh video play underneath it. I have tested this before, there is also the undocumented window.blend for MIAWs that works on XP (only?), very nice, but the moment a MIWS hits a DTS sprite( like the DVD sprite I am using) it just shows black. Hmmm. The active X stuff is on my list for a while now, if you say there is some screengrabbing ones, I'll certainly have a look!! Thanks!
