Hey, not to say you don't need Shared Libraries... but can't you use

LoadMovie to pull off the same effect--not to mention with more control?

Just an idea...

Maybe you are as "longtime" as me... do you recall how great Shared Casts

worked when they were first introduced?  (When you HAD to call the file

"shared".)


What about the Shockwave/Intel 3D stuff they've shown off?  Isn't that

exciting?
