Hi, I'm wandering how do you create .dxr movies, do you need the full non

Also is there some way to save text field data when jumping between movies,

Thanks

Don't have the MIAW close itself, rather have it tell the stage to set
either a global or in D8+ a timeout object that can do the close at some
short distance in the future. You need to finish the tell command in its

I have had the same problem recently, and after some digging into

You need to add a return character yourself. Change:
put mGetSelection(gTable, "LITERAL", 1, mSelectCount(gTable), ",
", return, "DESCRIPT") after field "RegionSelectedGeographies"
to:
put mGetSelection(gTable, "LITERAL", 1, mSelectCount(gTable
You could do this with the multiuser xtra - there's a great example from
macromedia with one shockwave controlling webpages that the other
shockwaves see.

Hi Iain,
You need to set the useHypertextStyles property of a text member to FALSE
which turns off the automatic formatting and cursor change. Then if you do
want another color and/or cursor change you need to set that for each

Try importing the AVI's as QT cast members. Although you'll need to install
QuickTime to make them run, you'll be sure that they'll work without any

You haven't mentioned what kind of videos you're playing. If it's avi, then
you'll need to install that specific codec on your system. Check the
properties of the video files in Media Player.
If you're using QT movies, you're going to have to install QuickTime on
your system.
