Thanks all for the info, after reading a lot about the subject and looking at my options I figured out the best way (or a least I think it is) was to create a JS function that will write the gif (PXL) object to a div. Now the JS is being called within flash.
So far so good. I'm just waiting to receive the report if all is functional, if everything works correctly I will go ahead and make a blog post about it because it would really help to fix this issue or at least have some info about it. -h On 5/15/07, Smeets, Ben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I think you are trying to load some sort of tracking gif of an outside provider right? In that case, just load the gif through the exact url you have been given. So if the url mentioned said "bla.asp?a=5&b=7&c=8" etc, use that in your load function. The external provider will make sure it is a gif being returned.
