Yeah sending it in chunks is an option but that requires more from the backend. A friend of mine just explained that it probably had to do with Firefox being able to directly communicate with the plugin which would make it lightningfast...and IE doesnt do this which makes it slower. // joakim >

You could just use setInterval instead of getTimer: count = 0; function GoNext(){ count++; if(count >= 10){ clearInterval(intID) nextframe(); count = 0; } } intID = setInterval(GoNext, 1000); Jason Merrill Bank of America

As an actual helpful reply, you could always try cutting the string down and then send the string in separate vars. Actually, have you tried sending the thing cut up into an Array? You could always do a join() on the other side. Lee -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[

I think this whole argument is solid ground bullshit. The definition of what you find "interesting" does not have a damn thing to do with what is intermediate-to-advanced AS. AS3 work is irellevant on a professional level, and Flex != Flash Actionscript. What you're saying is you're complaining
