So maybe it *did* work for before! I thought it did. > I don't think this will be hard to fix -- probably just a few lines of > code in the > right place. I was looking at the code last night. I think it would boil down to being able to load a .sage file programmatically (i.e., with a function call).

I'll look at this soon, unless someone beats me to it. For reference, this package embeds movie files into a pdf: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/movie15/ Jason --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
