current version is actually just a small test program in Shockwave and I am
very interested in finding out what kids actually think about it. If you'd

I would suggest that you deploy it without resorting to using Javascript.
Many users (particularly parents whose adolescent children use the same
computer) have disabled Javascript in their browsers, and rightly so,
considering all the malicious and disgusting content being thrust at web
users without their consent. I have it disabled on my systems, and though I
would like to look at your project and offer my comments, I will not allow
it to run Javascript.

It is not necessary -- see link below my sig -- we do not use Javascript,
for that reason, and because we must have ultimate cross-platform
compatibility.
