I am not sure I understand exactly what you are asking.

Also, you might think about changing the title of your post to something more descriptive, as that will not only get more attention, but will help others to understand the problem.

Mambo has a built in function that if anyone tries to run a script without calling it through Mambo, the script will not run. This is a very important security feature.

1)Mambo has a built in function that if anyone tries to run a script without calling it through Mambo, the script will not run.

that's not a built in function!

2)if you really want to link directly to a component you'll have to hack it because it uses functions of mambo that won't be available when accesing from outer space

Accessing a mambo component from outside mambo is not a good idea.

In each file inside a mambo component (or any other addon) in mambo you should find the lines:

This makes sure that the file is being accessed from within mambo or dies.
If you remove this line you can access the component from outsite mambo but open a security risk.

If you want to be able to use a component both in mambo and on another non-mambo site. It would be better to have the component run as a standalone script (hosted outsite mambo) and have the interface for using the script within mambo. That way if someone hacked into the component they are not hacking into your mambo site.

For example:
If you want the same shoutbox in mambo and a non-mambo site.
Have the shoutbox hosted outsite mambo. Then in mambo have a component (or in this case a module) that posts to the shoutbox (purely html for a shoutbox).
Managing the shoutbox can also be done from mambo. Configure your component to access the shoutbox database and manage the shoutbox. Remember to still include the lines:

in your mambo component.
