RE: StartMovie Problem
It can't be a bug because bug that has existed since version 4.0 would have been fixed by now 8) The problem is not simple... On frame 1 Director initializes the sprites while the player is still paused, and this changes the expected chain of events that some asset Xtras (3rd party or internal ones) must respond to. This can be made worse by Lingo that is attached to prepareFrame or beginSprite handlers... Quick advice: just ignore frame 1 on ALL of your movies. Just start always of frame 2 (this is something I do automatically since D4).

If you have timeout objects alive when the startMovie event occurs you'll get this behavior - normally that pertains to frame 1, but intermovie navigation allows you to jump into a starting frame other than 1. FWIW, timeout objects have long received these system events and the behavior described is as intended and by design, this is in no way a bug (one might argue it's not optimal but as of today it's working completely as designed and expected [based on that design]).

Re: StartMovie Problem
Well don't just restrict this to frame 1. As I mentioned in an earlier e-mail, and have now tested to confirm.. _movie.go(frameNum, movie) will have the same results in the frame you are jumping to even if it isn't frame 1. It all comes down to order of events... so is this a bug or expected behaviour?

Re: StartMovie Problem
Hey Tim, In aid to you nailing this down is the timeout called in the beginSprite handler? As far as I know this would be the source of the problem when the sprite lives in frame 1. The reason for this is that beginsprite events get called on sprites starting in frame 1 before the startMovie event gets called. So with a sprite in frame 1 the order of events is prepareMovie beginsprite to all sprites in frame 1 startMovie And since timeout objects get system calls as timeout object generated in the beginsprite event would exist when the startMovie call is sent out and if the timeout object does not specifically trap for a startMovie call that gets passed along to the movie script. The result is 2 startMovie calls. Note, I believe that if you jump from one movie to another it is not just frame 1 that is the problem. Code like: _movie.go(10, someMovie) Will have the prepareMovie fire, then the beginsprite events for sprites in frame 10, then the startMovie event. So you'll see the same problem you see now even though you don't have sprites in frame 1. (I may be remembering this all incorrectly I should really test it again) Anyway the best way to avoid this kind of stuff is to have your timeout objects trap all system events even if they don't need to use them that way they won't leak through to the movie handlers. -hth, Rob On Wed, 18 May 2005 15:58:07 +0100, Tim Welford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks roymeo, Combined with Kraigs answer, that's a good place to start, as I am using a timeout object in the same channel that I discovered was causing the anomaly.
