Ummmm.....I haven't been following this post, but it seems that Cole is
right about downloadNetThing not working in Shockwave. The alternative is
to use preloadNetThing and then setting the filename of that member to
point to the _url_ of the file. Since the file is already downloaded to the
cache, setting the filename is faster.
It is possible to set the filename to a remote file without preloading it,
but it's not really a wise idea to make the user wait all that while with
nothing on the screen. Preloadnetthing lets you download the file while
something else is going on.

I'm pretty sure downloadnetthing is not available in shockwave for the same
security reasons that fileio is off limits. Preloadnetthing should copy
the media to your cache, though.
