Checking user acces on the second link doesn't bother me since the user acces for this content is checked on node level. Also, on this site I want this flash animations to be available to all users (including anonymous). What I would like to know is how safe is to use the "filepath" attribute? Could this attribute change in the future so that my template won't work? Or is there some other reason why I shouldn't use it? -- Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it! Hubert Farnsworth
