Subject:	FLASH: A little/lot confused....

I'm designing an ad for a major search engine, and I have to create a link
in my Flash ad to send the user to a particular URL.. That's fine. But,
the company sent me some specs, and they don't make sense, and I'm wondering
if anyone else can figure out what this means? :

"Instead of embedding clickthrough urls into .swf file, use the FSCommand
statement as demonstrated below.

SCREEN SHOT {Not available yet}
On Actions tab in Flash

Use Get URL Action
URL= FSCommand:URL1
Window: arg1
Variables: Don�t Send

Send also, one .txt file
Text file includes the appropriate clickthrough urls and filenames as below:

1. Must be named flashtext.txt
2. Field Headings (such as �file� and �url1�) are spelled exactly as listed
above and separated from their respective fields by a single equals
mark=(and not a space or TAB).
3. Default gif is named through the use of the alternate heading

Send an alternate .gif file"

I'm just looking at this going, "WHA?" -- I didn't know that FSCommand was
used in the GetUrl action.. (or is that an older version of Flash??)

ANY help, or ANY light shed on this would be greatly appreciated!! :)

Thanks.

Glen
