Tom,
Thank you very much for your testing. It's comforting to know that it
actually should work. I think Buzz Kettles might have provided the
solution, but I haven't been able to try it: I need to add a MIME
setting for .W3D to my server. Right now the W3Ds get downloaded as
text files, and that seems to the problem in a nutshell.
Unfortunately I have no idea what the MIME type should be... I didn't
find anything useful when I searched the Technotes for (mime type
w3d) etc. Do you happen to know? I just improvised a MIME type of
(.W3D and x-w3d).
(BTW I don't use a relative URL, but exactly the same as the one I
used for preLoading.)
-A.
