Hi John.
You could try a combination of "the frontWindow" and "moveToFront" to keep
the navigation window on type. For example, you could create a little object
that sits in the actor list monitor which window is the front most, and then
move the nav window to the front (I've not tried this, you might have to
check how it copes with dialogs and other windows)
----- script "WindowMgr" (email lingo)
property myWindowToWatch
on new me, pWindowToKeepOnTop
myWindowToWatch = pWindowToKeepOnTop
(the actorList) append(me)
return me
end
on destroy me
repeat while (the actorList).getOne(me)
(the actorList).deleteOne(me)
end repeat
return 0
end
on stepFrame me
if the frontWindow <> myWindowToWatch then
window(myWindowToWatch).moveToFront()
end if
end
------
Or, maybe an event driven approach might be simpler - eg
-- movie script in the "nav" movie window
on deactiveWindow
window("nav").moveToFront()
end
