I think the problem is with the DisplayList itself, since other objects are failing to appear, even though everything looks OK and no errors are being thrown. I believe that the problem with the Alert is related to whatever has thrown the display list into a tizzy. So I'm thinking anything else trying to draw to the screen will fail in the same way. I've figured out how to get the problem to happen outside the wrapper, so I'm tracking it down that way. Thanks :-) -Amy
