When Director starts, it looks for movie scripts with handlers such as:
on startMovie on prepareMove Usually, these are where you would put that sort of stuff. Open up a script window, set its properties to be "Movie" script (click the small blue 'i' button to do this). Put in an on startMovie handler You can only have one of each of these in your system. Likewise you may also be interested in the 'on stopMovie' handler. That is where you can do some cleanup before going away. - Tab At 11:48 AM 6/2/02 -0700, Craig Taylor wrote: >Hi List, > >I have a scenario where a few independent behaviors must be executed before >the program begins (list initialization, etc.) These behaviors must run >without user intervention.
