MIAW, Flash and redrawing (Is Back with more info)

[Teo Mattiozzi Petralia]

Here other answers;
Is the Flash animating when you click the button? You might have to 
wait
for the Flash animation to finish before issuing your go movie command.
The flash moving has several frames and in each frame there is a stop 
button, so I think is not animating, only when I click on a button in 
the Flash movie I move in another frame of the flash movie.

Is the Flash sprite puppeted? Is the Flash cast member in the new 
movie?
Is it in a sprite?
No the Flash sprite is not puppeted and is contained only in a cast 
member in the first movie, the second Director movie doesn't have that 
Flash movie cast member in the cast. The Flash movie is in a sprite.

I think Kerry (I'm doing all Kerry's thinking tonight) was getting at 
the danger of going directly from a button in a Flash sprite to 
another Director movie where that Flash sprite doesn't exist. That 
used to cause crashes, and might even now lead to strange symptoms. 
Your getUrl ought to set a global variable, or maybe trigger a timeout 
script, to do the navigation to the next movie after the getUrl call 
has finished.

Back to your description, it sounds now like its the area occupied on 
the stage by a DTS Flash sprite that is being affected by the MIAW 
going away. That's different to what I was testing, where I was making 
a DTS Flash sprite in a MIAW go away with a bitmap on the stage.

The stagecolor = the stagecolor you were doing, is that in the stage 
movie, or the MIAW?
Maybe is just luck but it seems working very well the getUrl command 
combine with the Director functions attached to it. The problem arise 
only when after I jumped to a frame I open a MIAW that contain a 
Quicktime VR, because all other times is working perfectly.
The Flash sprite has not the DTS box checked (the flash movie contained 
in the first Director movie) neither has the DTS box checked the flash 
movie on the left, of the second Director movie screen.
The command The stagecolor = the stagecolor is issued by the function 
that close the window and is so;
tell the stage
The stagecolor = the stagecolor
end tell


I'm using a GoURL command inside Flash that call a function
in Director
that has the command go to frame.. of movie ...
I hope it's more clear
Yes, that's more clear.

A couple of things to look for:

Is the Flash animating when you click the button? You might have to 
wait
for the Flash animation to finish before issuing your go movie command.

Is the Flash sprite puppeted? Is the Flash cast member in the new 
movie?
Is it in a sprite?

These are kind of shots in the dark. Not really sure what could be
happening.
Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
