oddDog--gracias!

razor--ah come on now let's be nice . erova, the way you do it is in the first frame, for example, put a loadMovieNum("http://yourserver.protect.swf", 1); line in there. the "protect.swf" doesn't actually exist on your server but it *can* if they client falls through in some way.

i use this method too, but have never used it and never plan to. it is a last resort as it will likely end in destruction of the business relationship. i upload a new .swf free of the loadMovie command as soon as i receive payment too.
