Nope. Regardless of the SES value you can still use the syntax you cited, again, the SES property only affects those particular top-level functions and not the remainder of DOM access. That doesn't remove the problems around using the DOM access if you attempt to open the movie back in MX though, so do remember that the validity of the new DOM code is based on the player version as only player 10 supports it. > And I can't seem to find a listing for 'tell' in the help > anymore - doesn't the SES "deprecate" this command? No. The tell command was deprecated because we introduced new DOM access to window objects in the version 10 player. Instead of using tell blocks you can now simply do this: windowRef.movie.someHandler() (or the window access you cited above) Whatever you put after the .movie is then executed within that movie's context, just as it is supposed to within a tell block. But remember, despite being deprecated, that doesn't mean that the functionality won't work anymore (try it, you can still use tell all you want). We can't remove support for functionality so easily as it breaks old content, in the case of the window object's windowType property it was critical as we'd then have property sets out of balance so we nixed windowType altogether in that move. But for tell you can still use it, or you can use the new DOM-window object access instead, neither of those is affected by the SES property. Make sense? At least maybe more sense? Keep firing if you have questions or comments. ________________________________________ Tom Higgins : Product Manager - Director http://www.markme.com/thiggins/ <--- Just updated today (September 22, 2004) [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
