I think the problem is that the png is dynamically generated by some
cgi-script, but director needs correct file-endings, mime-types in the
http-header don't seem to be sufficient. if you have acces to any
web-space with php-support, you can put there the following little
php-script ("pcw.php").
<?php
copy('http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/ipc/pcwpng','pcw.png');
?>
this creates a copy of the recent png in your web directory.
now, whenever you want to update the png in your shockwave movie, use a
script like the following (eg. attached to an "update"-button):
property pNetId
on mouseUp me
-- forces update of png
pNetId = getNetText("http//domain/path/pcw.php")
(the actorList).add(me)
end
on stepFrame me
if netDone(pNetId) then
-- use random to fool cache. set randomseed in prepareMovie
member("myPng").filename="http//domain/path/pcw.png?"&random(the
maxinteger)
updateStage()
(the actorList).deleteOne(me)
end if
end
