I'll check it out!

I haven't seen the problem with Netscape 4.  I probably picked the wrong

option in Aftershock (like, generate Java for ALL browsers instead of latest

versions..)

Doesn't IE use ActiveX instead of JavaScript?  Not using the GIF option does

explain why some of my Flash pieces come up (actually, the ones without the

GIF option - now that you mention it...)

I'll fix that and see if it corrects the situtation...

Will do!
