Well, the DCR in question is still residing on my server, so I believe this
means that the moviepath remains unchanged. The problem is that the dcr is
appearing inside a pop-up window from a remote site. This means that the
remote site is stripping away my HTML surround, which in this instance
includes buttons to 'become a member' and 'view scores'. Anyone visiting
the game on this rogue server will not have access to these.

I'm not sure if this trick would work, because as stated above, the dcr
remains on my server, so the check would validate. If I'm wrong, I'd like
to hear more about this method!

The game actually uses a loader movie - the site just link to the loader
movie, and since the loader is on my server, it has no problem downloading
and playing the game dcr.

Again I don't think this would work because the dcr's remain on my server.

Aha... this could possibly work! Darnit if it isn't the most complex
solution of the lot though :)
Good thinking!
