I'm not sure of when to use the prepareFrame handler, but I can tell
you I use on beginSprite in both frame and sprite behaviors all the
time.
Exactly what I will be doing from now on. :)
I can visualise the 'on prepareFrame' handler listed in the
'Outdated Lingo' section of the next release
you could do it in one frame.
I don't want to do it on one frame, because as a matter of fact it isn't
just a slide show, but a linear multimedia presentation, including sprite
tweenings, video, flash, just everything you can do with Director. So I have
to step through something that is spread

I don't think a stepframe handler in a parent script will do it -
surprisingly enough.
I think you might have to do something along the lines of a global spread
across all frames, that if it's true, go the frame, if not continue on.
Then that global is triggered by the other media/parent

Hi Irv,
well, using a single frame script instead of many might seem smarter, but it
will occupy the script channel and this is exactly what I wanted to avoid (I
want to be able to use the script channel for other scripts). Until now I
had many different frame scripts for syncing, so that I can
Hello,
Maybe Im a little off here but, why not use Quicktime and 'the movieTime'
that why you can change the socalled cue point with scrip. If Im right then
the cue point is not hard coded to any movie.

Using movieTime with Quicktime is the same as using currentTime with
sounds.
That let's me do the sync with frame scripts - with frame scripts only ...

Hi Colin,
thanks for your interesting ideas, I will try that.
Let me explain, why I still think that cue points are like hard coded
numbers.
You say You put those cue points in based on something happening in the
sound. That is true, but to synch a visual to sound you have to be able to
move
I believe that you are mistaken.

Here's another opportunity for a benchmark test - sprites with masks vs one

I might try that later

By viewing Colin's movie, I now understand the effect you wanted.
He used the mouse as a virtual slider, but it's clearly the effect
