I have concerns about using external files with my Shockwave movies.

music within my game, what happens when that game is saved from
the web page to a local hard-drive? The movie will then surely generate

I think you're better bet is to write a CGI script that uses
3) On that note, is there a Lingo command that will detect if
certain external files are present or not? That's one way to avoid
unwanted error messages I guess.
There are with projectors, but assuming you mean in shockwave, what
happens if you set the filename of a member to a URL, and then

Don't unless you are creating them on the fly. From Dir7 up there's
no need to explicitly puppet sprites when you're using Lingo to
manipulate them.

Instead of letting director handle the scaling, rotating, etc. of the

that it would.

Couple different approaches.
1. Put the replaceable(s) in external cast(s).
2. member(whatever).scriptText = {the contents you want to switch}
Either could be automatic, or
It's probably because Director 7, if I remember correctly, only supported Flash 3.
Flash 4 .swf's would work as long you're only
using commands that are present in Flash 3, but LoadMovie might be Flash 4 and later.

It works the same way that the Flash player and browser plugin work. A version 3
player, for example, can open a flash file of a
later version, but it will only execute the actionScript that it understands and
ignore the rest.
As for Director, I assume that 7.0.2 updated the Flash Assets from

A few more questions/comments:

2). Why are there forward slashes in there? Are we talking
