>that rules out the prepareframe message that Kerry talked about.
Good catch, Colin. Like I said, it's been years since I used D5, and there
was a hiatus when I was writing a lot of C/C++, so I missed the
introduction of that event. As it turns out, prepareFrame isn't really
relevant to his problem anyway. More important for Rudy is to understand
the concept of frame events and how they fit in.

Actually, I did see that. He followed it by saying "If I press the button,
the program appears to go to the other frame for a second, then continues
cycling through the frames again." I wasn't quite sure what he meant by
that--I interpreted it to mean it didn't go to frame 2 until he clicked the
button. You could be right, though, Colin--in fact, both of us could be right.
Rudy, that's what I love about this list. If one of us misses something,
there are people like Colin to tweak our answers :-)
