Hi Merrill, I am not sure fi you are able to use LocalConnection or ExternalInterface without beining the same application. I mean, do you know if you can communicatie bi-directionally with multiple Flash ActiveX wrappers? I.e. browser <> win32 application? I would think this won't be possible, not sure of course! You also have the problem you might not be able to trigger the popup from within your website/webpage. Maybe you can make some sort of notification application which can receive notify messages from you server or website, and then show it. Something like that should be possible, but most big companies (like the one where you work for) don't opening ports on client ports.

[Flashcoders] Transparent independent window (not wmode) 3rd party tools?
Does anyone know of any third party tools that will allow you from a web site, to have a transparent window - a flash file which floats - over the browser AND outside the browser window other than the Flashants Ice player? I'm not talking about wmode either, I'm talking about floating Flash outside the browser window while running on the web. Reason I ask for other tools is the Flashants Ice player doesn't seem to be able to allow the Flash files to make Javascript calls (like to close the window) with the Flash 8 player and I'm looking for another option. In my tests it fails, but shows it works outside the Ice player.
