<body>
<form onsubmit="sendAway()">
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="dialogOpener">
<input type="submit" value="send to shockwave">
</form>
and then the javascript function sendAway() would send the file name to shockwave..which would then use that string to import the file ... convoluted to say the least...if you think you'll use this method, there's a thread in the archives ( http://mail4.fcgnetworks.net/archives/lingo-l/ ) on shockwave/javascript interaction if you need it.
btw - for ie only, it might be possible to do this automagically through a hidden layer of html and a bit of javascript. you can send a message (which can originate in shockwave, but for this example i'm just starting it w/ the "hey" link) through javascript to open this dialog box w/out seeing the html, but not cross browser in anyway...
<script>
function doit() {
document.forms[0][0].click();
}
</script>
<style>
#hiddenForm {
position:absolute;
visibility : hidden;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:doit()">hey</a>
<div id="hiddenForm">
<form onsubmit="checkFile()">
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="dialogOpener">
<input type="submit" value="send to shockwave">
</form>
</div>
i pray that someone responds w/ a better way of doing this....perhaps another xtra that i'm not thinking of is shockwave safe?

ahhh - that would make so much more sense. lewis, to get a file openOr filextra3
dialog box i've used the mui xtra, w/ code
something around:
g=new(xtra "mui")
filename = FileOpen(g,"C:\")
but neither seems to be shockwave-save. And therefor no help here.
