hi alex,

thanx for your feedback, and for the fake message window miaw. it's a neat little tool - although I havn't fully understood it yet, need more time to analyse - disassemble - deconstruct it :-)

btw. I didn't find a way around this specific problem. I thought
catching a script error with the alerthook would prevent my movie to
stop execution, if my alert handler returns true, but that doesn't
seem to be the case. but maybe there is just some tricky part I am
missing.

AFAIK, in the authoring environment an error will, unfortunately, ALWAYS halt the movie. Here what I found in my "private archives":

alertHook return value:

Return Effect in Director Effect in Projector -1 Halt the movie, no error dialog Present Stop/Continue dialog 0 Halt the movie, present error dialog Present Stop/Continue dialog 1 Halt the movie, present debugger Movie continues running, no alert
    2        Halt the movie, present the script      Quit the Projector

cheers,
valentin
