Anyone know of any xtras or code that allows Director to communicate
asynchronously through a TCP socket?I can't use the multiuser server so
that's not an option.

The 'getPropertyDescriptionList' handler is trying to draw a dialog that is
bigger than your display. You will have to increase your display resolution
or change the handler.

In addition to all these great suggestions, I have found that you can edit the cursor
