Thanks, but that would work for a particular frame only. What I need is to
disable all transitions in the whole movie for a time and the enable them
again:
Background: My movie is kind of a slide show with tranitions between the
slides. I have a scripting Xtra that analysis the content of the slide show
and provides an editor to edit the slideshow. There are actions, where the
transitions (mostly DM-fades) are uselessly triggered. I would save much
tine, if my program could automatically disable all transitions, execute
some actions and enable the transitions again for normal playback.
set a global flag that tells the score hop over the transitions?

-- movie script --
global skipTrans
on prepareMovie
  skipTrans = 1
end
& place this behavior in the frame channel just before the transition happens

-- skipTrans behavior --
global skipTrans
on exitFrame me
  if skipTrans then go the frame + 2
end
the above may not suit your particular score layout, but you probably 
get the idea

Any other ideas?

Thanks
