This works: 1) Make a one-card stack that has a button and a field. 2) Put this handler in the button script: on mouseUp load url "http://members.home.net/phildavis/mc/test/joneslib2.mc.gz"; \ with message "expandDownload" end mouseUp 3) Put this handler in the card script: on expandDownload pURL,pStatus put the params into fld 1 go decompress(url pURL) unload url pURL end expandDownload 4) Click the button!

I'm doing the former option with some stacks, and am also using base64 decoding. Works great. This isn't explicitly handled by load or go, but if you want to see the scripts, lemme know.

After you "load url" you do 'put decompress(url the-url) into url "file:new-location"' and then you 'go url "file:new-location"' or something like that. You can do it without writing to file, just in variables, in which case after you decompress the data you would "go variable-name". > > Thanks > Rich Herz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Andu Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, not this list.
