    Any suggestions on how to test the LuaCom created IE for a nav change.

    will your use of the User32.dll work on Windows 98 systems?

    Yes it will, but depending on your needs, you might not need to call the functions in the dll. The luaCom plugin is all you need to attach to the object, and detect navigation.

    I will need to strip the IE object of its title bar like you have done in your example.

    Then yep, you can use the User32.dll. it's required DLL for all 32 bit versions of Windows.

    Thanks.

    The project I am working on requires a chat program. I have imbedded a MySql / PHP powered flash program, Flash Chat by tufat.com, very cool and only $5. I was going to use the web object but for some reason the Flash interface that is loaded into the PHP page wasn't behaving properly under the built in web object, Backspace wasn’t working for starters. The LuaCom created IE solved my issues but before you showed me how to embed it I was forced to open a windowed instance. It worked but failed to give the ILLUSION that it was an integrated part of my module.

    All hail king Worm..........

    Let me point out one little kaveat I've come across with that method so you are aware of the "situation".

    When the luaCom IE object has focus in your app, Alt-F4 will close it

    I'm not sure how to get around that either

    Thanks for the heads up!

    The good thing is that it's highly unlikely someone would do that.

    As a work-around, you could use the page timer to check whether the IE object == nil, if it is, then load it again. Wouldn't be bullet-proof, but would at least offer some protection

    Oh I see now. Alt-F4 closes the IE object not the project. I guess I will need the workaround after all.
