When a user selects a menu item the filmstrip slides to that image. There

Sorry, the problem isn't quite that straightforward. I read your post, but I

disappear in a projector, try something like this (untested):

Largely, it's stuff the programmers put in, but there wasn't sufficient time &
personnel to test/fix it well enough to make it public. Often these features,
like rateshift, are documented in subsequent releases.
Then there are then [way too many] document

How can i detect in the main movie that the external movie which is imported
is fully downloaded, Is that check necessary.
If i use imaging lingo, how do i detect the button presence in the whole
image.
do i need to find out each and every button rect manually.
thank you

hi murali,
depending on your button behaviour imaging lingo might be the best choice, but
other than that i think the easiest way to have such a scrollable control panel
with buttons would be to implement it as a LDM (control.dir imported to main.dir
as "link to external file", with option "Enable

I don't suppose anyone has a resource of all the current undocumented lingo. There

All,
A quick bit from my end on where undocumented features come from:
1. Something that was implemented but couldn't get to a stable
enough state (due to bugs) prior to shipping in order to get
"official feature" status.
2. Features that crept in late in the game and didn't recieve

Hi list...
I'm hoping a particular widget exists in the MUI xtra: a scrolling list
with a fixed height (not dropdown), where you can select multiple items.
If it's not in the xtra, would anyone have any suggestions for a decent
