Hello List, I'm trying to create some sort of a "study tour" along a river stopping at certain points(with Dir 7). I want to use a button to display a map to show where the user is in each step. The map is a simple movie which i'm trying to run as a MIAW and it simply displays the map of the river and a button to close the window. the code i'm using is: -- when the user clicks on the study tour hyperlink I create the -- window movie and preload it: on hyperlinkClicked me,data if data starts "visit" then global newWindow set newWindow to window "map" set the rect of newWindow to rect(100,85,700,515) set the titlevisible of newWindow to FALSE preLoadMovie "map" go to "visit" else if ... end if end --when the user clicks on the "map" button: on mousedown set the visible of window "map" to TRUE end --the movie "map" close button: on mousedown close window "map" end The MIAW opens but the close button (which is made of a rectangle and text saying "close") doesn't show the text, but it works and closes the window. The movie "map" works properly when opened independently in Dir 7. What am I missing??
