Hi Rob you could well be right -in my programming innocence of 2001/2 I wouldn't have been able to allow for this (in fact that innocence remains pretty intact to this day) - but if Macromedia didn't take account of that in Lingo itself then they shouldn't have claimed that work using the shockwave plug-in was cross platform when it clearly wasn't... cheers michael PS on a related note -given that Adobe seems to have consigned Director to the outer regions of software limbo it would be lovely if it was all made available for those of you who know what you're doing to develop...
