Andrew, You don't need admin rights to run an .exe file. Typically, you need admin rights to run an _installer_, but if your app is a single self-contained .exe then there's no need for an installer. I have ScreenweaverHX/Flash apps running happily without admin rights on Vista, XP and 98 as

Sounds possible. Would most situations / people not use PowerPoint for presentations though? And for kiosks you could make a good case for playing the .swf directly via flashplayer, or through a wrapper like Zinc or Director. Just trying to find the advantages of animated PDFs over mroe widely

As I understand it, a typical institutional/corporate privileges configuration restricts non-admin execute rights to only the Programs and Windows folders, which in turn have write privs set to false Generally correct. But a Flash projector does not use these folders at all, nor does it

This may sound daft, and perhaps not the way to go, but here is what I am trying to do (AS2): I have a class that I would like timeline code to instantiate and call a method on. I would like the class to broadcast back to whomever is listening... simplified class: import mx.utils.Delegate;

You forgot to add a listener ! :) in the timeline code : bar.AddListener(this); and it will listen to all event broadcasted by your Login Class. Note that it's AddListener not AddEventListener as you're using AsBroadcaster. As easy as that ! HTH Alain eric e. dolecki wrote: This may
