FYI, from the documentation:
the files you would need would be:
Authoring License (Not to be distributed)
Ipixtra.lic -- the IPIX Xtra Authoring license

Ipixtra.x32 -- the actual distributable IPIX Xtra file
Ipx32_56.dll -- shared library
Yes, sure. Adding an updateStage after every location update makes no
difference--it is still possible to break the mouse pointer away from the
sprite with a quick motion, and then the hander stops working.
I also tried putting the sequence in the exitFrame script. In that case,

You're right Slava. Repeat loops suspend _all_ other animation in Director.
Frame scripts won't work well either when the frame rate drops down too
much.
However, courtesy of timeOut objects, you can have smooth motion without
the lockout of repeat loops. Here's some code over the top of my

it may be a bit late for this, but you could split up your Flash stuff
into several movies which sit *around* the QT. I had to do this with an
interface built in Flash for a SW3D project... it's a
Static flash navigation would suck, no??
Try not to put the QT over the flash thingie...
Maybe you can solve it in another manner - is the QT really necessary???
If it is a small number of frames, you should consider breaking up the
movie.

experienced a similar problem. What you have to do is keep the two away from
each other. I found that when they touched or overlapped everything went to
crap. Maybe its because they are both moving and probably at

Well, the other suggestion with the timeOut object would be the other part
which is related to the frameRate. What rate are you setting it to? What

hi Mark,
There is no need for a get/set situation, your passing a
