External casts are pretty much available in Shockwave movies too. But you need to preload the files to the users machine with the preloadNetThing() function. Once the network operation is complete, you can then refer to the cast file by the URL on which it resides (http://www.yourserver.com/thecast.cct).

Phone: 91-22-859 8042 Ext: 410 <snip> I am currently in the middle of a large director project for the web which has in total about 80 different dcr files linked together and external casts which are shared amongst these movies. Yet when i have tested it on our development server i keep getting the following error. " Director Player Error Unable to open file "navbar.cxt " and likewise for other cast members. All my cast members end in .cct i'm puzzled! What does this mean? And can you use external cast in shockwave movies??? <snip> [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
