Re: QTJava and Flash interactivity

Thanks! That does help out quite a bit. I'm now able
to do a println when someone clicks a dropdown box in
a Flash animation (BTW, the drop down was suppose to
load in a URL).

I was wondering if there was somewhere I could look to
find more information about the ActionFilter class.
There's quite a few execute methods and I don't know
where to look to find out what all the mcActionXXXXXs
are.

Any insight is appreciated!

Peace,

Dave.
