The movie is kind of heavy and full of handlers and stuff (tens of thousands of lines of Lingo), maybe that has something to do with it.
Uh.
If you come across a bizarre situation like this, it is *always* a good plan to try to replicate it using a *bare bones* movie. That means:
1. Exit Director entirely to make sure all memory is purged. Clearglobals ain't enough.
2. Re-load Director, but NOT with the movie that's having troubles. Just a new blank movie.
3. Try to replicate the problem using the simplest means available. In this case that would mean using two cast members, one sprite and Message window code.
It's almost certain, in fact darn near 100 percent certain, that one of the many many lines of code you're referring to is responsible for this.
Can you run a trace on the Lingo and see if anything's interfering?
BTW what exactly are you working on? (I'm curious. ;)
