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 MarquardtDesigner/Resident WireheadToast Design300 First Avenue North, Suite 150Minneapolis MN 55401612.330.9863 v612.321.9424 fwww.toastdesign.com
