I'm designing a kiosk app. that will run on Solaris.
All is fine, except for playing a large (40mb) movie file. There is a
15-50 second lag from when the card opens to when the movie starts
playing. This doesn't happen on Windows or Mac, and, oddly enough, is not
related to the speed of the Ultra

No
Don't worry - we generally don't beat people up around here for asking easy
questions. We would all have too many bruises... "easy" is a relative thing
anyway.
Add this to the script of your index stack and the buttons should work:
on openStack
get the filename of this stack

Hi y'all,
I've noticed a big slowdown when trying to hide and show fields and
buttons that have been grouped. The sluggishness is considerable.
Is there something about having objects in a group/background that
would account for this?
Here's what I'm trying to do: I have one pop-up menu tha
Some clarification...
What I am trying to do is simulate an MDI window. I have several grouped

Is there any good material on the use of associative arrays in
