OK. Note, BTW, that a DLL is not an Xtra. Whatever you use in
Director, if it's an external code object, it almost certainly is not
a DLL.
It might not hurt to hit the Xtras lists at Macromedia, partly to see
what can be done, and partly to see what other products exist. Could
be someone already wrote what you need.
It's also possible, if you were to describe what this "data feed" was
coming from, what its natuire would be and what you needed to do with
it, that you could garner some reasonable suggestions here about how
to go about doing it. ;)
