kerry
i am really sorry !! first of all i can't figure out how to get rid of the html formatting in my email. i really liked the listserv but i was getting way tpo many emails than i could manage and i was missing some important ones. i'd understand if you chose not to help me but i really need it and it is for educational reasons i am here at colloge at Ohio University. do you have any suggestions for me to make this better for al of us?
1. can't i just open new windows with another director file that has a lone sprite as the video member?
2. the director help is elusive about the size of windows and i have'nt been able to figure out how to change the size of a window. the rect of sprite also does'nt seem to efect things except when i put "put the rect" and it tells me where i moved the window to.
i hope to hear from you
mike
