And it's worth noting that wired movies/QT sprites are actually pretty fine
things; and can call back to Revolution.  Check out 'QTDebugStr' in the
docs.

(Question to Rev/MC - is there anyway for a Rev app to trap the
mcActionLinkToURL or mcActionCustomButtonClick events?  These offer more
flexibility than the DebugStr solution - and in particular are helpful when
embedding a Flash file through QuickTime.)
