Re: Triggering a Director movie from the internet

If you're willing to run around the DMX support issues (I believe it 
still works but you need a D8.5 serial or something), I'd look into the 
multiuser xtra and server.

So how can I tell a Director movie from outside to do a

There is no way to send a message to a Director projector that I know
of.
What I've done in a similar situation is to have the projector check
periodically for the existence of a file. When that file appears,
Director goes off and does its thing.
I used that for load testing on a LAN-based program, but I don't see why
you couldn't do it on an Internet server. Of course, it would have to be
a Windows or Mac server since Director doesn't run on any flavor of
eunuchs.
Cordially,
