Hi list,

I'm working on a movie that has a series of mpegs and avi's.  We need to use
the tabuliero extra for all of these.  They play fine, and move from one to
another fine.  My problem is that the boss wants to have a next and previous
button associated with each of these, and that in and of itself is simple
enough.  We have discovered that on some systems when you press the next
button, the movie stalls for an instant, or on laptops, stutters before it
goes to the next movie.  It seems to happen on either mpegs or AVI's.  And
of course, they want these to move cleanly from one to another on all
machines. I've tried using the specific marker name instead of "next" and
just tried the UnloadMovie handler in hopes that would cause the movie to
not stall or stutter...did both. The movies are in single frames and are
members of the internal cast, brought in with the tabulerio extra. I also
use the old greymatter sound extra, which is why the ReleaseSoundXtra is
there.  Here is the behavior that I have used

on ReleaseSoundXtra
  global gSoundObj
  
  set gSoundObj = 0
end ReleaseSoundXtra

on mouseUp me
  ReleaseSoundXtra
  UnloadMovie "transcribefinal.avi"
  go to "12"
  
end

on mouseWithin me
  set the member of sprite the currentSpriteNum to member "Arrow back down
14"
 set the member of sprite 23 to member "PREV CALLOUT 13"
end

on mouseLeave me
  set the member of sprite the currentSpriteNum to member "Arrow back up 14"
set the member of sprite 23 to member "PREV CALLOUT 13 INVIS"
end 

Thanks for any and all assistance...oh yeah, they of course want this by
tomorrow...Thanks again.
