Valentin,
You're right - I didn't quite catch that. He's dynamically generating web pages, showing them WITHIN the projector on stage via a web sprite, then wants to talk from that sprite back to the originating Lingo. Okay, that's different, and the web page doesn't even necessarily have any Shockwave in it. Sorry, answered the wrong question. :) Thanks for the correction.

Tab,
if I understood it right, Rob is not asking for communication between an embedded shockwave movie and the browser, but between a WebXtra sprite inside a director projector and director.
