Ok, gurus, get your thinking caps on--got a subtle one here. 50,000 words 
or less...

I used the Audio Xtra to write a Shockwave recorder. Works great--almost.

I'm launching it in one of two ways.

1) Use the standard HTML that Director publishes (opening a new Browser 
windows).
2) Use JavaScript and a series of document.write() commands to write the 
same HTML code (except it embeds the Shockwave movie on the same page with 
a bunch of other stuff).

Just one modification--I added an HTML parameter that tells me the URL of 
the sound file to play. Using ExternalParam, of course:
     if externalParamName ("sw1") = "sw1" then
       swaFile = externalParamValue("sw1")
     else
       alert "I can't find the sound file."
     end if

Both methods work fine on IE 5 and Netscape 4.x on Windows.

The straight HTML method works fine on Mac. But I cannot, for the life of 
me, get the JavaScript version to work on the Mac--either browser.

Has anybody run into anything like this before?

Cordially,
