Remember that ExternalEvent requires that the handling event on the
recieving browser be written in the native scripting language for the
browser. Ie. on Windows - Netscape uses Javascript, Internet Explorer uses
VBScript, on Mac, netscape uses Javascript and Internet Explorer has no
native support (at least not that I'm aware of).
If you don't require feedback or callbacks into Shockwave then do yourself a
favour and use the
goToNetPage("Javascipt:document.bgColor=000000;") or write a Javascript
handler that is executed and recieves the bgColor as a parameter.
Sincerely
Mark
