Hi Evan!

> I'd look into the multiuser xtra and server.

I have been working with the Multiuser Xtra before. The problem is: How can
an internet user who hasn't Shockwave installed communicate with a Director
projector running the Multiuser Xtra?

Or if the internet user doesn't do it directly, how could a PHP Server
connect to a Director projector via the MUI?

I have thought of that too, as a workaround. The problem is: The internet
user should get to see the processed image as soon as possible. Anyway, <
other question: > suppose I did it this way. What do you suggest would be
the best way to create a html-page that includes the image? Of course the
html-page could be done in director, but how does the internet user - who
will see some kind of "please wait"-page while Director is creating the
image - know that his image is ready?

I mean I cannot tell him: "We are processing your image, please try this
link and if it's not yet finished, try it again later"?

I realize that this is a bit off topic, so I hope I may be pardoned, but
since there are so many experts on this list ...

Thanks to all

Michael
