You could also have the client make an activeX control out of it, insert that into Director and make calls directly to the control. Something like: put sprite(1).getInfo() (assuming sprite 1 is the control and getInfo is a method in the control) > or doing the > same with good old text files (which I've already thrown out > as an option, > before it even broke the .5 second it took to become a > conscious thought). Just out of curiosity, why'd you throw the text option out? Seems like a simple solution. I'm not sure what you're ultimately trying to do (or what the environment you're running this thing in looks like), but I've done this in the past where I've had another application write data to a text file and a Director app reading the file every exit frame with fileio. If your frame rate is 30 you can get data 30 times a second (possibly faster if you upped the rate -- I don't know, I used 30). I've run it for hours at a time and it seems to work pretty solid.
