Thanks. smart - yes, thinking it depended which side the secondary monitor
was sitting.
so final outcome is it works great on my G4.
But -
One pc opens the movie (that includes quicktime) but freezes on the
secondary monitor - plays fine on the primary - quicktime player plays fine
on that secondary monitor - so one would think it is more an issue with the
dir file...
the other pc gets a script error and crashes. :(
the movie script looks like this.
global secW
global secH
on startmovie
secW = (the deskTopRectList)[2].width
secH = (the deskTopRectList)[2].height
put secW
put secH
end
on keyDown
if the shiftdown and the key = "r" then myDrawRectFullScreen
if the shiftdown and the key = "e" then myDrawRectFullScreen2
case (the key) of:
TAB : go to the frame +1
"1": go to frame "1"
"2": go to frame "2"
"3": go to frame "3"
"4": go to frame "4"
"5": go to frame "5"
"6": go to frame "6"
"9": go to frame "white"
"0": go to frame "black"
"p" : pause
"c" : continue
BACKSPACE : go to #previous
end case
end
on mousedown
go to the frame +1
end
on rightmousedown
go to #previous
end
on myDrawRectFullScreen
(the stage).rect = the desktopRectList[1]
(the stage).drawRect = the desktopRectList[1]
end
on myDrawRectFullScreen2
(the stage).rect = the desktopRectList[2]
(the stage).drawRect = rect(0, 0, secW, secH)
end
maybe making this cross-platform is just not going to happen...?
thanks for all the input,
krista
