RE: Runtime Error!
I used to have that with V12, haven't had it with valentina so far (hope to keep it that way). Usually these things tend to be related to not disposing of objects properly... check that you void every cursor, and that you call the valentinashutdown method on stopmovie after closing all your cursors etc., clear your globals... It also seemed to happen when debugging; if you get a script error which interrupts playback you can sometimes prevent disasters closing your cursors and doing a shutdown from the message window... xtras seem to suffer from playback interruption The only prevention is to save and compact and back-up your files, and keep a copy of your database in a separate folder, so that it doesn't suffer from testing and you can roll it back before you finish up the project.

I have got several fields on a screen and when I click on one of them I disable all the other (false) and I make the one where the user click active (true). Now everything is fine if I click always on a different one, instead if I click on a previously clicked one it doesn't work. Example: First I click on sprite 6 (where there is a field) and the field became editable and all the rest are not editable, then I click on the sprite 7 (another field) and this became editable and all the others became not, also the sprite number 6, but if now I click on sprite 6 again the sprite doesn't became editable. Also if at this point I click on a Director window like the message window or the score window and comeback to the stage window the sprite became editable. Does anyone come across a similar problem?

What is the best format to create or convert the digital video to in order that the user does not need any additional plugins such as Quicktime. Would an AVI work fine or does it require Video For Windows still as it used to do years ago when I last used an AVI in a project. If AVI is the way to go, should I be aware of any codec issues? The other alternative I thought of was to create separate bitmaps for each frame however there are 250 frames and they are all 800 by 400 pixels in size.
