[JDEV] Re: Shockwave client (was: Beginners Questions)

[Ian Chia]

It won't work in Shockwave or Director.

Director clients don't allow 0x00 character (i.e. the zero byte 
termination character) past its networking layer which is
unfortunate since Flash uses the zero byte as it's terminator.

You'd think that the Director and Flash teams talked a bit
closer about all this stuff, but nope.

You can always embed a SWF inside the Shockwave and do that.
Make sure you're using d8 or d8.5 which is f5 compatible.
