You've got to be kidding me?  LOL, I've been testing just the .swf's in the

projector.   


After trying the swf's in both Netscape and IE5 for the mac, they seem to

behave in the same manner.  <--working.    But from what I read from you,

they should not work?   Everything I created is relative to the HTML page,

and seems to work.  I can't exactly test the streaming, and bandwidth

profiler in Flash when exporting, but they still seem to work.


Is this a fluke? Should I be concerned?  I am going to test on a PC now, and

am hoping that it works.
