Just wanted to tell you that my problem (keyUp handlers in a MIAW not
responding anymore after clicking in that MIAW) is partly solved. I got a
hint from another mailing list, indicating that this strange behaviour is a
known director bug, but that it is in authoring mode only. I checked it out

Well, if I can set the focus of a textfield in a movie that hasn't got the
focus, how can I set the focus to that movie via Lingo - the act

Generally Director attempts to deliver events first to the sprite, then to
the castmember, the frame, and the movie.

Hi List!
As I didn't get any answers to my last posting, I will try reduce my request
to one simple problem:
I have a keyUp handler attached to a sprite in movie A. For testing purposes
I have another keyUp handler in a MOVIE SCRIPT of movie A.
When playing movie A, it works fine.
Now I create

This code 100% works for me. If it does not for you then perhaps you have an
issue with your machine, not the Lingo.
This code goes in the Main movie.

The member "mask" is also in the main movie, not the MIAW.

You win! I'm an ass.
Now, I _HAD_ done it before, but reimported all the images using the

Is your MIAW movie open in Director while running projector?

Boy am I tired.
I can't figure out what the problem is; I'm trying to do that non-rect miaw

When I'm working in the main movie and call up the miaw, works fine (of
course minus the non-rect alpha -- that only works in projector).
But when I run it in projector, it opens the miaw and t
I think this is the problem. The original mail contains no evidence

I haven't seen the whole conversation, but generally whenever Director is
operating in the context of the MIAW itself, you cannot issue a "close
window" command for the MIAW.
This means, regardless of whether you have an object, or a handler, or
whatever, in the MIAW running, you cannot close

Just to restate the question, what we are not succeding in doing is having a
MIAW close through a user event. The different solutions we have tried are
all being failures. Maybe someone could give us an example on how to do
that?

Just a little side note here. If you remove the .dir extension, you won't
need to modify your code if you later decide to protect or shock your
movies. Director will automatically search for .dir, .dxr, and .dcr exte

A few stray thoughts from me, here.
closeWindow is an event handler that, IIRC, gets triggered in the active
window. I can't get to Director right now to verify, but even if I'm wrong
Hi Colin and list
Thanks for the advice, you were right about the bad syntax, as we are trying
to copy the stuff from books that seem to be all wrong. Things seem to be

I can't quite tell from your description where those scripts reside, but I
do know that it's considered bad mojo to have a window forget itself. If
your forget command is executed from a script in the MIAW that is supposed
to be forgotten, this could definitely cause a problem.
