I had exactly the same thing with stopMovie being called twice when I used a
timeOut object.
There are probably advantages in being able to handle these system events
in the targeted behavior, but it does seem to be a problem that if you don't
define a handler the message gets passed on to normal movie handlers for
system events in addition to the normal message path for these events.
I dumped my code before I was told about this so I haven't confirmed.
If you add a startMovie handler to the BEHAVIOR does it stop the startMovie
movie handler being called twice ?
on startMovie me
put "startMovie in behavior "&&me
nothing
end
cheers
