Well Ellen, seems like you might be able to trace the error down to the way
you are closing the MIAW. This has been discussed extensively on the list
just a while back.

other object to erase it too. And that is exactly what y

Without the original message or any context, this is hard to say. But
if you mean Director 8.5 and 3D, it will use your video hardware if

That is a way of providing functionality through software in situations
where there is no direct hardware support.
For instance, if a video card had a hardware mpeg decoder, you could decode

Thanks for the info. I'll give that it a shot.
I did get my projector to play correctly. The help docs say that if you have

Boyd,
Are you looking for some other model for representing the structure of the
XML document in memory? Or are you simply looking for a better, easier or
more intuitive way for accessing the nodes in the tree once the document is
