Just to double check Mark's (more sensible) suggestion:
In the cast, when you click on the behavior and you click on the
script tab in the property inspector does it say "behavior"?

maybe...
make sure you have "on mouseDown me" or "on mouseUp me" -- without
the "me" it will catch all the clicks.

Have you tried http://127.0.0.1/ I believe that amounts to the same thing.
er, repeating yourself is *really* rude.
You can either:
1) set your stage size to 1 x 1 pixels by setting the rect of the stage
2) place the stage off screen
3) make the stage window invisible
Then grab the desktop.
Then re-set your stage position.

Just to confirm what Jon is saying here.
If you load the projector from the CD-ROM, change CD's then continue
running the projector, you will not be far from either a Windows
error box, a stall or a crash. The projector will be looking for
