Re: Flickering problem with a stack

Ken ,

Yes, I've tried that already and it doesn't help much...

Actually, IMHO it doesn't look like a simple redraw issue.
As I wrote before, random portions of the image on layer 1
flicker...
Replacing & re-importing that image didn't change anything...

I'm starting to think seriously that my stack is corrupted...

Re: Flickering problem with a stack

Brian,

Yes, I forgot to tell : all images are imported into the stack and the
"always buffer" property is set for all images.

The only thing I don't understand is the fact that when I select any
control
just once with the select tool and then go back to browse tool, problem
disapears... The bas side of the story is that I can't do that when the
stack runs
as a standalone...

JB,

That sounds like a redraw issue. Have you tried doing a lock screen/unlock
screen combo? That usually forces a redraw and it might do the trick.

Have you tried setting the "always buffer" property of your stack? That 
should reduce flickering.
