The teleport mechanism is not documented anywhere.

Send email to support at activeworlds.com

They will give you the same info they gave me a while ago.

Essentially, it's a MIME type and a file association in your Windows
registry that allows you to invoke the browser and send it a DDX
message telling it where you want it to go.

The DDX message could actually be used from any windows app
to send you somewhere, and you can even create little text files with
teleport targets in them and just double click them from your desktop
to go to a specific place.

Since it's not documented though, it's not really official. I stopped
wasting time on it because the email from their support essentially said
that it's 'unsupported'.

The mechanism also does not work in other Universes. It can be made
to work, but as said.. it's an unsupported feature. Why spend time on
something when the company that made it doesn't even support it?

I guess they are happy enough that it works for them in their own worlds
in their own Universe.... like the "Search" tab in AW and no other universe.

i also remember UTN having a page on how to get your browser to work.
but too bad that site is gone.

This tells you how to get your browser to invoke AWorlds and take you
to a certain place in AW when you go to this particular server.

This does not tell you how to teleport someone to somewhere in your own
world using your own server.

For this you need to know what is actually inside a MIME attachment of
type application/x-activeworld, and I don't think that information is
documented anywhere.

And when you figure out how it works, you realize that it will only work
for the main Active Worlds Universe without a lot of manual fiddling
around and/or creating additional MIME types for each universe.
