Instead of having the user step through 3 or 4 different web pages (with each page's contents determined by the previous page's selection) I could do it on a single page with a Flash-generated control panel. Unfortunately, it does look like Flash will only handle static links, not the live content I want to pass through WebCatalog.Thanks for the info,Rob Marquardt Designer/Resident Wirehead Toast Design300 First Avenue North, Suite 150 Minneapolis MN 55401 612.330.9863 v 612.321.9424 f www.toastdesign.com Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
