Rodrigo Thanks & Hi to all,
The externalParamName/Value does indeed work in IE for the mac, yet
as far as i know it can only be used once at startup to pass
parameters from the page to the shockwave movie. yet i might be
(hopefully) wrong: Does anyone know of a way to change these values
while the movie is already running and re-read them from within the
movie?
Tak,
Yariv
