Do you want it to cycle back to the show after a period of time as well? that would be interesting to test... Using Buddy's baMinimize() function would send you to the desktop, but I'm not sure if the projector would run in the background or not (returning to active after a timeout). A timeout object with a period of ten minutes, that calls a handler which takes appropriate action depending on the state of the movie window, is the approach I'd take. If you simply need to shut it off once, I'd suggest a timeout object that calls a handler to halt the movie. -Kurt [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
