Thanks to Mike and Jim for your input, This is perfect but I couldn't use the class because.... >public static function contains(str:String, val:String):Boolean { >return str.indexOf(val) >= 0; >} I tried this and it said I had to call to an external .as script. We have been experiencing issues with external file calls in flash because of the web server to network share environment issue. Flash applications are embedded into a scorm compliant LMS and external files can only exist on a network share not on the LMS web server. I have been to Adobe's site and read their solution for a network setup like this but that may not come into fruition for some time and my users cannot be asked to individually change their security settings in flash. I do not have the ability to access the LMS like my users (no test user account) so I hesitate to even try this because I won't know if it won't work until one of my users has issues. Which is how I found out about the flashplayer 8 security enhancements. Sincerely, Patricia Britt
