RE: how can I exit the movie?

But Al, there is no need to do this extra work. As Tab pointed out, the beauty of "halt" is that it does this check for you. At author-time, halt will just stop the movie and keep you in Director. At execution-time, it will quit the executable. I've been using it for years this way. Irv A

RE: how can I exit the movie?

Well, if I recall correctly, quit was always there, but took you all the way out. Halt used to originally literally halt the work, and the bug (at least back in v4), or feature, was that it just stopped everything, and didn't call stopMovie. Over the years, somewhere, it got to where it woul

Actually, a better way out is to use 'halt'. In authoring mode (that is, in Director), quit will also exit Director, which makes it really annoying for testing. By using 'halt' instead, the movie will just stop. - Tab At 09:13 AM 6/13/01 -0400, Brown, William K wrote: >Attach this script to
