Hmm... if you have a SWF in your site, then in Dreamweaver 3 you can view,

edit, and verify its links in the Site Window. Dreamweaver will peek right

inside this SWF to see where your GetURL actions go.


You wouldn't need to include these links in the HTML... Dreamweaver 3 can

read the SWF file itself. To verify the local links inside a SWF, select

the file and context-click to pull up "Verify". (You may need to set your

site's definition to actually display the properties of dependent files.)


If you wanted to have the HTML created by Flash 4's "Publish" feature

report on all URLs used in the movie, then the "Default" template does

this, and you could use that $MU property in any publishing templates that

you wanted to customize too. This should not be necessary to view, edit or

verify SWF links in Dreamweaver, though.
