RE: Movie transparency
That's what I'm trying to do, but it goes back to my original question, when I key out the background in after effects the background color shows through, but I want transparency and not a background color, and AFX doesn't have an option to set the background to transparent, and I'd rather not do it manually for thousands of images. Anyone know how to do this in After effects or how to do it in another app?

Re: window.forget stops sound?
1. this only happens for sounds in channels 3-8 - sounds playing in channels 1 & 2 are allowed to continue. Nyet. It happens in channel 1 too on my machine. D8, WinNT 4 SP6, hacked version of DirectX 5 to make it run on WinNT. I've placed an internal sound member on the score and set it to looping. Haven't tried channel 2 yet.

1. this only happens for sounds in channels 3-8 - sounds playing in
channels 1 & 2 are allowed to continue.
2. not fixed recently (as far as I know).
There are many workarounds & this issue doesn't effect that many folks.
I'd rather see (a) MIAWs to not have to SHARE their sounds channels
with the stage movie & other MIAWs and (b) the overall number of
sound channels increased.
3. some workarounds
- quick & dirty:
use channels 1 or 2 (unfortunately, these already might be in use for
other sounds)
- more fancy/useful/flexible (great for small loops):
copy the sound member from the MIAW to the stage movie & then tell
the stage movie to play/loop it using any channel. This has the
advantage of the stage actually knowing that it's playing a sound in
that channel (sound().isBusy() becomes true). It can them fade it
out after some time has passed, etc.

RE: setting text to EMPTY
Check out the .rtf property of a text member.
So if you set a text member to Arial, Bold 14 you get this stored in the
.rtf property. If you store that in a global or property in a Behavior
and use it to reset the text member you will maintain your styling.
{\rtf1\ansi\deff0 {\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss
Arial;}}{\colortbl\red0\green0\blue0;\red0\green0\blue224;\red224\green0
\blue0;\red224\green0
\blue224;}{\stylesheet{\s0\fs24 Normal Text;}}\margl1800 \margr1800
\margt1440 \margb1440 \pard \f0\fs24{\b\fs28\par
}}

Set the font-forms in Lingo code somewhere in moviescript
'StartMovie'...to be
asure. or in some pre-script or in handle 'on beginsprite' before the
very
score-script..where your looping scripts are..
And correct the fonts from arroundings of the files.. so you get them
right. (Have used 'delete' also for fields..) etc.

Re: sound(1).play() queues AND plays?
Better yet, if I knew how to "watch" (in Lingo, e.g. in exitFrame) the progress of playback in the series of currently queued sounds. Look at sound getplaylist. That should list the remaining queued sounds. When it changes, a new sound just started to play.

RE: Can I use a xtra so I won't have to install Quicktime?
You are confusing QuickTime with video playback. If you want to just play MPEG or AVI's then the directMedia Xtra can do that but it will only work on PC's with DirectX installed (pretty much all PC's have this though NT4 might not) and does not require QuickTime. If you want to play back Sorenson via this Xtra you must make sure they have the codec installed for this on their PC, you can probably get an installer for it somewhere .

RE:Miaw transparent / close opening movie
hi all, I've got a movie which opens a transparent background miaw and I have two question to ask. 1. I have a forget() command on the miaw and would also like to close the movie which opened it at the same time? 2. I would also like to have sliding panels that open on the fly in the traz/background miaw. is it possible to somehow animate the 1bit mask member to copy the changes I would make to the interface. I haven't done any imaging lingo but have looked at the coypixel command and believe it may be possible?? any ideas/help/samples thanks in advance.

window.forget stops sound?
Has anyone ever had problems with forgetting windows and the sound
stopping? I have a single frame movie, with an internal sound member placed
in channel 1 in the score. The sound is set to looping. But if I forget a
MIAW, then the sound stops playing.
Here's my code from the message window -
-- Welcome to Director --
x = window("dummy")
x.modal = TRUE
x.Open()
x.Close()
x.Forget() <-- Poof! Sound stops.
Clueless.
