Hi Kristian, For the external cast question, no, you don't have to have a stub, though Karina's suggestion is good for other reasons. For a MIAW to have access to an external cast, it needs to be included in the stage movie. It can be external, but the main movie needs to know

Off the top of my head.. If you are able to modify the flash movies you're using, create a function in each that switches it on and off, including the sound and whatever other stuff you want to de/activate, and call it from Director. If you can't do that, you might be able to access the sound

If one or the other is not feasable, or you don't have enough time, it might be quicker to create a loader mc with the on/off function, which will load your flash swf, set the sound on/off etc. Then you end up with only one flash cast member within director, which calls up others. PS:This is

FWIW, I reckon QT has to be the best bet - depending on quality/codec/windowSize issues. The major hiccup is that you need to restart your projector after an install. And work around the flashes. Well, yes and no... Depending on just how sure you want to be, and who your potential clients
