<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:Consolas;color:#1F497D'>I suggested
you continue using your current player, while wrapping it with your own C++ app
for GUI with the assistance of the SDK. You mentioned having done it in the
past with Visual Basic. Can you not do the same with C++ instead? I was also speaking
of my own plans to include writing an updated X3D player, as a solution to the
general problem you described, but 'not' recommending you do that for your
project. Sorry if there was confusion.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>Probably
the best idea is to deploy the x3d file with the appropriate content type in
apache, or override the content type header when you send back the x3d file to
the web client. Then the web client should pick the appropriate X3D
browser for that content type. It may require a bit more effort on the
part of the user or X3D browser to set the X3D content type->X3D browser map
entry.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>I
thought I’d toss that in. I have no real issues with .x3d files launching
BS Contact, that I know of, without any scripts.<o:p></o:p></p>
