Mark, I've used this technique a lot, and I like it.
I have found that I sometimes need to run the Flash sprite in lock step
with the Director movie, especially if the Director movie is code-heavy.
We had crash bugs on one of my projects when the Flash sprite wasn't
lock step.
Admittedly, that project had a couple thousand lines of code, and up to
a couple dozen objects instantiated at any one time. Apparently, when
Flash calls the Director handler, it executes immediately, which can
have a disastrous effect if you have other code executing (especially if
the other code is in the object the Flash sprite calls).
Just something to watch for.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
