Here's the handout.

Here's the MUJ Reprint.

Finally, in response to several questions I received about the ability of JavaScript to "talk" to loaded movies, I did some testing and found that it does work. You should investigate the table of new properties (from the MUJ article, above)--and I've since figured out that GetProperty code12 is "framesLoaded" and 13 is "name". Also, the way I'm waiting for the loaded movie to be totally loaded (before I start talking to it from JavaScript) is with a timeout. See these sample files. You may consider putting a bunch of sounds in the "other.fla" and testing it--to force it to download slowly.
