You shouldn't be using OpenAsMovie. You should be using HTML to embed your FLASH movie into the HTML source and then set your source to the HTML view.
Look up the embed and object html tags at http://w3schools.com If you are having trouble with the HTML, download the application below and also download the Media plug-in pack. It contains everything you need to embed FLASH movies into a web page. Then just use that with the HTMLview; RAGE WebDesign: http://www.ragesw.com/products/webdesign.html Media Plug-in Pack: http://www.ragesw.com/products/mediaplugin.html The trial versions should be enough for you to be able to do this. You can place your FLASH movie within your bundle (if you are in OS X) and just point to it using a relative path in your html. If you need more help with the HTML, just let me know. -- Paul Levine Find Reliable Beta Testers http://www.trybeta.com > Stephen, > > I tried the HTML view but OpenAsMovie returns nil.
