Troy, Thanks again. I tried this several years ago in the SuperCard environment and I guess that everything still holds the same.

Is it possible to have a > graphic exist in the pointer/cursor plane? Well, yes and no. QT respects the cursor of course, but that plane is only available to cursors. You can of course replace the cursor within Revolution, but I suspect that you'll find that in order for a graphic which is "behaving" as the cursor to pass in front of, rather than behind, the QT, you'll need to alwaysbuffer=true the player anyway - which of course, rather defeats the intention. Most programs which do cursor replacement are actually hiding the cursor and then dragging a graphic where the cursor should be. Rev can also replace the cursor with a valid cursor resource, but unless the graphics you want to use are 16 pixels square and black and white... The only real way to have buttons on top of QuickTime without significant performance hits is to create "wired movies" - meaning that the buttons are actually in the Quicktime, and not layered on top of it. -- Troy RPSystems, LTD www.rpsystems.net _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
