Yes, I got it from someplace else. Many a time you guess correctly.

I did this but still it didn�t work.

Is there one?
I believe I have found the solution and it has nothing to do with
library palettes or the PI.
It was because I used the lingo command pause, so that the playback head
was stopped.
The solution is to use the
on exitFrame me
go the frame
end
and it worked!
To be honest, I found this on the macromedia.com/support/director site when
I was searching for �playback�. It was for version 6 to 6.5 but I
think it doesn�t matter, right, as long as it works?

Thank you for encouraging me, thank you for taking the time to explain and
thank you for taking the time to provide solution after solution. You never
gave up trying to help�
The solutions may not have worked but I believe that this is not important.
I know that this list will not be able to provide all the answers but the
support and the encouragement has been tremendous. The battle is already
half won.
If the lingo command pause causes problems, why is this still being
included in Director?
Does this apply to the other properties:
Tempo
Wait for mouseclick or keypress
Wait for cuepoint
So it is better not to use them?

Philosophical ? That�s surprising.
Something must have prompted you to provide the solution as using a movie
script or maybe it was the way the module was written�
I know that I should not have brought it up but when I was studying it, I
did not understand why you provided the solution in this manner.

I understand what you mean. But I also believe that nothing is impossible
if I put all my heart and soul into it�
Thank you,
