Also, if memory serves me right, there are 2 directEmail Xtras, one for Authoring & one for Playback. Be sure you have the right one in the right place (authoring in Director's Xtras folder, and the other in the projectors Xtra folder) bryce >At 21:27 29.01.2001 +0100, Tom wrote: >>Hi Paul

hmm, that's a strange one - I haven't tried to replicate it here, but are you sure that it is a continuous sprite? you could assign the text to it on the first frame, but not have the member in the score as a sprite until frame 2 - that would avoid the problem you are having bryce >I have
