The easiest approach is to call a custom handler when the close button is clicked on the title bar. This handler can then take care of Saving and quitting or just quit without saving. Hope this helps.

So far the additional xtras used are OSControl, BudFile, budapi and MUI Dialog. They are all included in the xtras list and xtras are not excluded (and they are all registered where applicable). The published movie has a title bar with close box. For when the user exits via the close box in the title bar, I have the following “on stopMovie” in a movie script. on stopMovie If (NOT DialogL.dialogSvd) AND (DialogL.targetSrc <> #unk) then reply = ShowAlert(1) if reply then SaveDialog() end if end if end stopMovie I did not clutter this post up with the other handlers because all works well when run in authoring mode. Basically, if the user clicks the close box in the title bar and has done anything, I ask them if they want to save their work (in the form of a property list with baWriteList). The “ShowAlert(1)” is a common mui alert handler in the same movie script that asks the question. The “SaveDialog()” is a common file save handler in the same movie script that first uses the mui fileSave to get a file name to save the work to, then writes the (Director list) file with baWriteList. This all works as expected when I run the movie in authoring mode. I stop the movie (with the control panel) and it asks me if I want to save my work, then puts the mui file save dialog up, then successfully writes the file to disk. If, however, I create a projector and run it, then it does not work as expected. When I click on the close box in the title bar it asks me if I want to save my work, but when I click the yes button there is a flash where it may have been putting up the mui save dialog and the movie exits. It does not stop at the mui file save dialog for me to select a save location and it does not write a file. In the publish settings the xtras are included, animate in background is not checked (tried both ways), center stage, single instance and full script errors are checked. Nothing is checked on the file tab. Just to make sure the OSControl xtra was not interfering, I set up a small test movie with the movie script and a loop on an empty frame one. The test behaved exactly the same as the full movie. I also tried a simple alert between the “Do you want to save your work” mui alert dialog and the file save dialog. It just flashed through that also. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening in the projector version? Been a long but a good day otherwise. Hope you all are having a good day Thank you, Lee C [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
