Yes, you're right. I tried that and it works--it brings up the file
download dialog.
I tried something very similar last night--exactly the same url, except I
asked for the .x32 file. Of course it didn't find that.

Actually, it does help. Thanks. I think I phrased something wrong, though
(I was a little frustrated last night :-) I assumed that .../XMlParser/ was
the url Shockwave went to, and Shockwave knew what to ask for there. Your
comments above show that to be correct--Shockwave knew, but I didn't.
It was Mare who set me on the right track for a fix, though. The public
beta has a known bug that prevents it from downloading some Xtras. Not all,
but some. I assume Macromedia is fixing the bug--after all, I guess this is
a beta, and that's where the last bugs are cleaned up.
(Yes, we speak with a funny accent here. I sat next to a couple of Brits on
the ski lift last week, and they claim Canadians do, too, but they were
enjoying their visit to the colonies anyway.:-p
