Stephanie, Do you know that you can permanently boost the volume of a QT movie by using nothing but the QT Player (the Pro version)? Open it in the Player, click Movie Info, Sound track, and drag to get up to 200%, then save the movie (this doesn't really double the volume, but it adds signifi

I am having a small problem with the volume of 2 QT movies within the dir movie. The volume is not as loud as my other voice overs, so I have been trying to increase the volume using lingo. No luck so far, here is the script I'm using for the volume: on StartMovie sprite(7).volume = 256 end an

Actually, it's kind of the inverse of A. When the playhead reaches the beginning of a sprite span, Director "instantiates" the behavior for you. That is, it allocates enough memory to store a copy of the properties of the behavior (and also calls the beginSprite handler in the behavior). Wh
