RE: lingo-l flickering button (was: a question)

Those two are in simulated dialog box comprising a background with a semi-transparent alpha (a scrim) and two buttons. The buttons are on top of a bitmap, and do not overlay any buttons underneath the scrim. Interestingly, the flickering doesn't seem necessarily to happen at the edges. In fact, I just looked at it closely, and it's not actually the button that's flickering, but the cursor (the button has its own rollover cursor). Hmmm. It seems to happen at the edges, and in spots where the text is white. I'm using copy ink, so it shouldn't be a transparency issue, but the cursor I'm getting IS the cursor for the bitmap underneath the buttons.

Re: lingo-l How to prevent copying a file from CD to HD or another CD
Wow - it sounds like you don't trust this client. Here's some ideas off the top of my head. 1) you could put in a timeout into the projector inform the client that they have 1 week or however much you deem appropriate. OR 2) you could put a file on your website that contains a 'key' read it with getNetText (of course this requires that the client be connected to the web) inform the client that the application can be remotely disabled (remove the key). the projector could display 'authenticating demo display' or something along that line, so that they understand/believe this. then of course you can remove the key so that even if they copy the CD, nothing will work.

Re: lingo-l hiding some globals from clearglobals
you could use one of the Xtras that saves Lingo objects in a file.
