Thanks, Tony. I would bet my last buck that's what I want. Except now I seem to be getting a
<Script error: Operator expected [#comment: "Move Horizontal",> on the addProp list, #pOrigMoveX,� [#comment: "Move Horizontal", #format: #integer, #default: 1] ,and can't test it. I had this before when messing with the script and finally reopened the movie. I guess it wasn't just me. At least now I have a smile with my headache. Back to the message window I guess....
