Thanks Sean The steps are very very clear. I did all that following word by word and successfully created a 55.4 KB projector. But it is giving an illegal operation. It does open the opening splash and within a couple of seconds shows the error too. Tried placing the 3 dlls in Xtras, beside projector and both too. Tested it at different machines. Error appears irrespective of whether the system has latest version of Shockwav installed or not. Meanwhile, I have found the flash/javascript workaround which creates a flash projector of size 800kb. It is working fine. I have used the fscommand. (The only problem being it does not seem to work in Flash 5 and below.) -Manisha [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
