No, and Yes. getURL works, but is 'measured' from the location of the .swf
movie rather than the location of the loading HTML page. This causes no
problem if your loading page is at the same location as the movie, else it
will look for your reqeusted page in the wrong location.

LoadVariables DOES NOT work on the Mac IE 4.5. So don't even try it. Just
ask those users to upgrade to version 5.0 to get rid of that crap from the
web.

IE 5.5, F5plugin, WinNT 4 sp6, 512k DSL

Works fine, however there was a brief delay before the personalized info
showed up. For a second it made me wonder if there was a mistake. I assume
that's just a connection issue, but if there is a way you could avoid
displaying the end screen until the data has been retrieved from the server
it might avoid some confusion.

Subject: [flasher] functionality check




Hello,

I am seeking your esteemed help in verifying
the functionality of my radio buttons. Please
go to:

http://www.j-andrew.com/sbcommunity/flashbox/holdradio.html

and submit the form. You should receive a screen that
'echoes' your name and choices. Excuse the ugly appearance
as I am not yet in the 'look and feel' stage yet.

This flash movie interacts with the server and the radio
buttons are generated dynamically so I am looking for a
good cross section of browsers and operating systems to
verify its usefulness. I have checked it on 5 browsers
and 2 OSs. If you encounter problems please specify the
browser, browser version, flash plugin version, OS, OS
version and Make model of the computer.

BTW, does IE4.5 on Mac completely ignore getURL and
loadvariable calls. I have IE 4.5, flash 5, Mac G4 400,
OS 9.0.4.

Thank you all for your attention. And thank you all for
the ongoing support and insight provided by this forum.

Cheers,
John Andrew Morrison
