Hello Eduardo,

A few months ago I had the same problem and I must say you that I can't tell
you what the reason was that it didn't work.

What did work for me was:

[FLASH]

Get URL ("event:Activities")

[Director (as a behaviour attached to the flash sprite)]

On Activities me
go to frame100
end

On ...

It's not nearly as nice as the other script, because you have to handle all
options seperately, but this one worked for me...

I'm not sure what the problem was but it must be some sort of string vs
expression thing.


Good luck,

Andries van der Leij
