I would be grateful if the list could explain the following:

I have not yet used 3D shockwave sprites, but I don't believe that 2
projectors will perform that good.
If you want to sync - how fast would that be? I don't think you can do
that via netmessages. A call to an external server would work, but I
guess it might lead to high delays.
What if you use

Is this ¬ not acceptable in D8.5?
If so, how would I modify this?

Is it possible you are using a transition that changes the frame rate?
I have several 3D animation sequences that I can export either as a

This is all being packed inside of a Director Projector.

No, you do not need to store your questions in XML. If that is a

Hello All -
I have an odd behavior occurring in a dcr of mine.
This dcr has a single inserted swa file that it is pointing to. This swa
file contains a number of cue points. I'm using the 'on cuePassed' handler
to determine when to go to the next frame (works like a bulleted list slide
show.)
Hi,
Well, you need to make sure that sprite b is in channel number 250.
If it's not this won't work.
It's done.
Also, make sure you add the 'me' keywords if these are behaviors.
This was done too.
As suggested you can also do this:
on mouseUp me
sprite(250).visible = not (
on endSprite me
sprite(250).visible = TRUE
END endSprite
After a pause, whether there is a mouseup or not, sprite b becomes
permanently visible.
There's your clue right above--when the playback head passes out of
sprite a's sprite span, you get an endSprite message, and
There's gotta be a better way to do this (and I should know it).
