Re: Flash in Director sniffer

Thanks Darrel.

That was what I was thinking but was just not sure.

So I feel a little safer now. 

Thanks

If you try a getURL("http://...") from a Flash
sprite inside Director, 
you won't get anything. Not even an error message.

In a browser, it would tell the browser to navigate to the
address. In a 
projector, it launches the browser.

In a Director movie or a projector, it just sits there,
because the 
Flash Asset Xtra only passes strings that begin with
"event" and "lingo" 
  through to Director.
