>Can MIAW be used in shockwave movies?
No, sorry, it can't.
I've gotten a similar effect, though, by mocking up a window with sprites.
It hangs around offstage until I whistle, then it comes running to the
coordinates I give it.
You could do it with imaging Lingo, too--composite in an off-screen buffer
and blit it to the screen.
The biggest disadvantage is constraining animations, keeping track of
multiple sprite locations, and disabling the buttons on the background
screen to emulate a modal dialog. Those can all be done, but it takes a bit
of extra work.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
