I'm on broadband (IE6 current shockwave player) however, so perhaps you aren't either streaming the quicktime or doing a preloadnetthing and checking thay are loaded before attempting to play them.

Re: QT xtras in Shockwave
Hi Alan, The videos play from my computer (400MHz G4 Mac, Mac OS 10.2, QT 6.1, cable modem, Internet Explorer 5.2.2 and Safari beta 1.0 (v51)). No audio though. Either the video doesn't have any or you need to set the SoundDevice = "QT3Mix". You did the right thing by setting the QuickTime Asset Xtra (QT3Asset.x32) to download if needed. The QT Asset Xtra is not installed by default, therefore you have to tell the Shockwave movie to download the Xtra to the user's computer by checking "Download if needed" option. You should also be checking to see if QT is installed (and the version is recent enough) on the user's computer by using the quickTimePresent and/or quickTimeVersion() - both of which are supported through Shockwave. I'm guessing the the reason why the QT movies aren't playing for you is the slow speed of your 56k dial-up connection. I image that if you wait long enough the movies will eventually play. If your project designed to be viewed by users having a dial-up connection you need to compress the heck out of your QT movies. I doubt you'll be able to get enough compression while retaining satisfactory quality. If your project is designed to be viewed by people with a fast connection then I wouldn't worry about it not working through dial-up - it's not a valid test. Hope that helps.

Create text field - I can't find info about it
Hi, I'm trying to make a list of words with the equal translation next to those words. i.e. makan : to eat tidur: to sleep duduk : to sit etc... Because I have about 100 words, I guess it is not very effective if I have to type every single words... So, I was thinking about putting those words into lingo propertylist and then access them using lingo getList or other. now, I want every word put into a single text field because I want the user tobe able to click on the word to hear the pronunciation of the word clicked. My question is: Is there a way to create a textfield on the fly (using lingo scripting) so I can create a textfield and then get the word from the propertyList and then put the word into the text field? Any advise or help is more than welcome... Thanks!

I had a similiar issue and had to use baWindowToFront(baStageHandle()) in an

Not sure if this is applies to you.

Re: bringing a window to the front
I'm using Buddy API to make sure a window stays on top of other windows, and
have tried this code, without success:
gBUDAPI=xtra("BudAPI").new()
lwinHandle=baWinHandle()
baWindowToFront(lwinHandle)
I've also tried baStageHandle() to get the handle of the current window, but
to no avail. I've tried full screen, titleless window, and titled window
projector modes, too, but nothing actually seems to work. The way I'm
testing to see if it works, is to start the application and then hit alt-tab
to bring another window to the front. Is this interaction not the same as
another application making itself on top?
Is there any other way to keep my app on top?
There is no need to instantiate Buddy API before using its command-set, so
no need for the new() call.
If you want your window to *stay* on top, as opposed to moving it to the
front, try baSetWindowState( WinHandle, "StayOnTop" )

Hi Michael, Here's my first stab at this. It works by darkening or lightening the initial image before making the 1-bit mask.
