Do you think that having a loading anim and wait for frame action for every 

essay would be tedious?


actually the "proper" route should be http://espritmillennium.ml.org/work/Esprit/


This will take you through the sniff process and start things rolling.


First, thanks very much for your help.

Jan, not sure if you mean that you couldn't see anything and then it worked

or what?


So far things seemed to be working on NT Explorer 4.0 but its the mac side that

has been giving me difficulty.  This might be because as John C pointed out, "

I don't 

have no stinkin' MIME type set on sever!"


The problems were two fold.  I was getting extremely consistent type 10 and 3

crashes on the mac

as soon as a Get URL frame action happened.  Background color would load and

then, "Wham"


the other problem which was happening on the G3 (previously only mac immune

from the crashes)

when I switched to using the Demo vs Beta version of Flash 3.  randomly, one

of the loaded layers

would just either not show up, or vanish as soon as my mouse rolled over it! 

VERY disconcerting.

It really stinks when the nonloading or disappearing movie is the nav device!


Did the sounds load too?  Having big dillemma about file bloat due to sounds. 

It's really amazing

how easy it is to take for granted sound in a production. Can't live without

it once you start down

that path, but the pain...oh the pain of file size!


thanks again for this help and prevoius advice to others.



regards,


troyb
