revBrowser madness

Actually, I got it working just a few moments ago by adding an idle statement:

on idle
  if the short name of this cd is "iBrowser" then
  end if
end idle

That's all I did.  Now browserNavigateComplete is actually getting
trapped.  Not sure of the reason but without the idle statement
running I can't do anything.

Now I'm trying to see if I can get browserClick to work.

There are no rev events it will process. Anything happening within the bounds of that rect are ignored by Rev. That is why the RevBrowser example draws the rect inside a Rev window, with other controls outside the rect of the video.
