Hmmm, weird. Ok, quick check, can you see *anything* on my poppy site? Like the home page for example: http://poppy.macromedia.com/~thiggins/ Via Dreamweaver's site view all files appear to be on the server, and on my end they do all download fine except the hqx'd copy of the OSX projector. Can you get the projector itself (Timeout.osx) or is even that giving you a 404 error? Can you pull the *.dir and use it to make your own projectors? <scratchin' my head> > And back on the main issue. Two years ago I called tech support to > resolve the mac issue.

Machine specs G4 896MB RAM What do you mean by "what software is incompatible with MX2004 on OSX"? Are you asking about what Lingo might not work on OSX perhaps? Sorry if I'm being dense but I just don't get what you're looking for. Director is supported on OSX, what other "software" is of interest in this case? > As I said we can rule out the faulty movie, there is merely something > more than this script.

Make sure to use the proper syntax, it's 'the debugPlaybackEnabled' and make sure you don't set it to false as once you do the Message window _cannot_ be opened again during that same projector session (so if you first set it to false then later back to true it will not open). Do we agree that timeouts on the Mac are behaving just fine though? If not then please either use my movies using your code, or your own barebones movies to test that as from my point of view there is nothing wrong with timeouts in and of themselves. Once we're on that page together then we can concern ourselves with what possible other complications there might be.
