That's exactly what I've done so far, but using evalScript rules out Mac/IE, which
isn't exceptable for this project.
Take a look at Jim Collins Puzzlemaker at http://www.shockwave.com/ -> Games -> Jigsaw
puzzles -> Puzzlemaker
Imagine the Import button in the html/asp page, *outside* the Shockwave movie; let
it's function (without the upload function) be to simply (?) pass a url to an image
already on the server, resulting in the image instantly showing up in the Shockwave
game when releasing the button, and you'll have the scenario in a nutshell.

I hope that what I'm trying to do is doable, and doesn't require an Xtra?
Once again, thanks for your input!
