You can even use the described technique to have an invisible projector running and use it to access the file system and other things that a purely shockwave solution cant do. When the projector detects that there are no longer any mutli user connections with shockwave pieces you can have the projector quit. Another idea is to use the projector as an ASP like server and then using Javascript write out the HTML dynamically to the browser upon transmitting it back to the shockwave piece. You can do some very interesting things with this...we've used it in a couple of CDROMS quite successfully to build shopping cart like apps for CDROM delivery.
It would be very cool if shockwave could natively utilize the browser DOM so we could bypass the liveconnect portion to accomplish this...seeing as liveconnect is still kinda brokenish in NS6.x. Also, if the standalone shockwave installer didn't require an open internet connection at least once to register itself that would be a great thing for "standalone" cdrom based shockwave apps. Netscape's live connect currently dies if you haven't registered shockwave...however there is a workaround :) Lol while I'm thinking of Netscape issues, there's a nice one where calling out to a JavaScript function and NOT changing frames after you have done it locks up the machine quite nicely.
