Thanks, Mark, but this doesn't seem to be the case, because when I remove
all behaviors and attach a brand new one, it still gets executed when I
click the empty stage:

It doesn't matter.
The method is public, and whether it implements itself by fetching
private data,
Mark made great explanation of an OOP structure.
However, reading it only makes me nod, it doesn't make me shake my
head, or feel dizzy, and that was sort of my expectation, from all
the fuzz.
Maybe there's an important mental difference in calling a method
"handle" something, rather than "set"

If you have the Shockwave 8.5 player installed, the only way to open the
message window is to set the debugPlaybackEnabled = TRUE within the code of
the movie itself. Alternatively, you can close it with the
debugPlaybackEnabled = FALSE. Once it is closed, it cannot be re-opened.

AFAIK the message window is not available in shockwave... if anyone can
prove wrong that would be great though!

Use getURL, but you can forget about the "with" thing,
and since it is a browser thing, you'll always have to confirm for opening.
Or you can put your flash thing into a html page, then you could open the
