If there is, check that code to see if it's trying to plug some value back into the sprite you're trying to clear.

RE: go to movie
Thanks for your info on this matter. Fred >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 05/01/02 04:58PM >>> > Do you have to write out the path when using go to movie? > > go to movie "c:\movie\movie1" > > or can you do this > > go to movie "@:\movie\movie1" > The standard IBM answer--it depends. @ is the modern equivalent of "the moviePath," i.e., the location of your current movie. So, if the movie you're navigating to is in a folder below your current movie, you can do "@:movie:movie1" or "@\movie\movie1". Notice you don't use the Windows-style drive ":" drive designator. I do either, depending on where the movie is. Often, I fall back on old habits, and use the old-style path separator, especially if I'm working on legacy code.

Re: Wav file playback issue followup
I had the same thing too, when I was working with Win 2000 Pro. I made a program in Win 98 and put it on the 2000 Pro system and would not run, so I when back and made the 2000 Pro to Win 98, now the program and system run fine and been up for 8 month 24 hours a day.

Nothing I > have done has made any difference. > > > Operating System is Win 2000 Professional with SP1 Hi Debi, I might not have the solution toyour problem, and maybe mine is comp[letely unrelated to it, but there I go: My workstation also plays back sound AND video files at double speed, it also is a Pentium 4 processor and Windows 2000 professional. So maybe there is a more general problem. Though I have not done any troubleshooting yet as I use it for coding only so I am not so concerned about how the sound/ video play back... Good luck, maybe you can post a quick pointer here as to what the problem was should you be able to fix it..

RE: Tracking a Button
I look up both getPref and setPref I do not have the files save as a shockwave. I have a InfoCenter here at the casino that players can go to and get information about our casino. This program is broken down in the 12 sections. On the main screen I have 12 buttons each button going to that section of information, what I would like to do is track each button. That was I can see which is being used and which section is not so I can update the section that is not being used. And pass to my boss how many people our using the InfoCenter.
