Well David, you’re not seeing the big picture here.

“What if” we want to bookmark a certain movie playing from a playlist?
If you bookmark the page, it would bookmark the player itself, not tha specific movie…

I can passa a var to the html saying player.php?thismovie=[pathofthemovie] to force the player to play THAT movie..
but it will not work IF I DON’T GIVE IT…

I would like, when in IE, to alter the url of the page being bookmarked before it is bookmarked. That is, when the user adds a favorite in IE using the IE menu, IE takes the url of the page somewhere, maybe in the DOM for what I know, and adds a newbookmark. What I would like is to change this url, at page onload time for example, so that when the user adds a bookmark, the url being bookmarked by IE has already been changed by me. Is this doable..? If so, mail me some tip at mittiprovence@yahoo.se Thanks! Stephane I have another issue with bookmarking in IE.

I think there is a point to this.

The user just has to click the 'add bookmark' button / menu in their browser. The reason there's no built in code into flash, is that there's no point. Why would I want to look around for a bookmark button inside every flash application or webpage, it will be different color, different places, etc, when I could just use my built-in bookmark button that always works, always in the same place?
