whoa, nelly...
When your movie is on a server it should not be playing, right. When your
user is running shockwave they are running it on the client - not the server
(that is why we have to deal with plugin problems).
A server application that allows a remote user to write to the server should
not have a gui (who is going to click the button if no one is around the
server?). The gui that you see is either stateless and submits to a server
for processing by some CGI, Java, PHP, whatever - or - can maintain state on
the client (like Director) and return an edited text file to the server.
Director apps (must?) have gui's.
