Thanks Daniel, I have a loading movie that first launches to pre-build some lists, check drives, etc. I ended up putting a dummy PDF sprite in this movie so that by the time I got to the PDF search, Reader had already been loaded. Solved the problem.
Thanks for the insight, --Craig Craig Taylor Renegade Digital Media Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] The xtra opens up acrobat reader on top of the director movie, not in the director movie. It is completely separate. This is why the focus is taken away from Director. You could use Buddy API to go through the Operating systems window list and set the focus back on director, but Director also stops everything it's doing until the pdf is loaded, so you can't do any animations or any lingo while acrobat and the pdf are loading. You could reset the focus after its loaded and director has control again. Thank you, Daniel O'Steen [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]).
