Anyone using AltBrowser

Klaus,

I am using Mac OSX 10.3.9 and not Tiger. I think it is not 
understanding the use stack and load externals but not while in the IDE 
that has me confused. It may well be a rather simple problem. But I'm 
not sure.

I was putting the cherry on the ice cream. This is not necessary for my 
final product but would get me many points with the bosses. The work I 
did over the last three weeks has not only impressed the powers that be 
but far surpassed any thing they expected. One comment was "Wait, you 
mean in two weeks you redid what it took our Macromedia programmer 
three months to do? WOW." That was a small part of my goal. My bigger 
goal was to create an engine that I could test game ideas out in using 
our proprietary interface. Going through our MM Director guy with less 
than a perfectly formated idea was getting to be too much. SO now I can 
test out ideas on my own and do it in a few days rather than weeks.

I did after all get Nine games created with my engine in one week so I 
know it was done right. Although they are all rather Alpha versions but 
when the bosses saw what the potential was for using our interface in 
new ways they loved it.

So since the project is already a success I don't have to prove 
anything to them at this point but I wanted to show how the interface 
can control a browser. It would satisfy me probably more than them.

So maybe the guys are busy getting the Tiger problem fixed and that's 
why they have not been able to get back to me.

I'll wait unless you have some advice pre-tiger.

Thanks again,

Tom
