Hello LIst,
I am facing two problems

A projector is not just the .dir file resaved.
A projector is an executable binary file made up of:

versions)
2) All of the .dir files you specify (in this case, an 11k file)
3) A few .DLLs that the runtime engine

Play/Play Done is a pretty convenient way to work.

There's no need, the result of getHotSpotRect(sprite 1, hotSpotID) is

I don't think so. It's still on the D8.5 CD in the goodies folder. It

a standard install option, but the FileXtra and UIHelper area still
around.

Use these to track which hot spot you are entering, exiting or clicking.
Store the current hotSpotID (from the triggerCallBack's second argument) in
