Yep. Something like

Hey Mats:
hehe, how stupid am I for not trying the QTVR on a blank movie?
Welcome to my reality. I just uncovered a really stupid programming
mistake where I had done something like this:
formatedHeading=translateBoy(origText)

and I couldn´t understand why s
I have a QTVR sprite that doesn't quit blinking (its visibility) when its
being used by the user (tilted, zoomed, pan, etc/...)
it doesn't happen when it is NOT set as a direct to stage sprite..
what could my movie be doing that causes that strange behavior???
Not much, in my experience. But the no
Sorry, I came in late and repeated some of Mathews advice.
To rule out your other scripts as being a problem, why not simply try
the QTVR out in an empty movie with only a go the frame - script? If
you still have blinking with DTS on, look up the QTVR codec in QT Pro.

I don't believe it's "asymmetric". I'm pretty sure it happens as
fast as you can tell it to.

Thank you, Daniel and Carl!
Maybe it isn´t all that bad creating the members. Or maybe I am
better off using bitmap images and positioning them on stage...
naaahh.
I think I´ll try creating members inside a repeat loop. By the by,
creating members dynamically will take some little time, won´t it
If you "create" an instance of the text (i.e. sprite) and you change that
instance, you will change the original member of the cast, no matter
what. That´s why you´re having this problem.
Exactly. Annoying, in a way.
On the other hand, having three color properties, each one with a

Hi, everyone,
I am trying to mimick the phonebook and text scroll behaviour of a cell
phone. It´s fun! I am at a loss solving this one, though:
If for example the name and the number is too long for one line (and it
almost always will be) my cellular (an Ericsson) won´t just make a line
