Hi Jorn, User can not save the movie to the server. You can store all the modifications user does with the movie to a text file using setPref command and when the movie is loaded again you can read the text file using getPref() command and set your movie according to the modifications in that

Hi Jørn, saving to a server and maintaining the amount of created shockwave's will be difficult (don't even know if it is possible, my hunch says it isn't, becous of safety). An other alternative would be to have all the changes saved to the users machine, as text, using setpref. When your
