Hi All I don't have much QT experience so I need a quick question answered. Is it possible to just pause on one frame every so many seconds then have the user press a button to skip to the next frame? So if you were looking at an hour long movie you might only see 60 frames. Thanks in advance

RE: font size

2001-05-25 Thread Monte Goulding
Hi Robert Could it be that the font is set to 9pt in the substack's mainstack and when you clone this substack is now a mainstack of it's own accord and hence there is no inheritance of font? Is this a known bug or an expected behavior in MC 2.3.2? I have a substack which has the font size

RE: Answer dialog replacement

2001-05-23 Thread Monte Goulding
Everything stops and waits for the response with the answer dialog because it is modal. You may need to use messages instead. Everything works fine with the handler, except for one thing - how could I get the value of the button the user clicks on? I'd ideally like to use this

I can't see how you can do what you are trying to do there Sjoerd because a snapshot creates an image from an area of the screen. Wouldn't it be simpler to use a set of 10 images (0 to 9) and have a number of calls (say 6 if you think you will get over 99,000 visitors) to the same cgi with
