Dear list,
Director 8.5 running on Windows 98 SE target machines PC  medium CD ROM

My project consists of a multi movie information system with pages
containing mixed data types I have 3 other MIAWs all type 3: an always
visible general purpose tool bar, an intermittent back and forth bar  as
required and a toolbox bar containing among other things a volume control.
My problem is that calling the toolbox miaw from the tool bar instantly
kills the sound in the movie playing on the stage. This defeats the purpose
of calling the volume control :)!
I have tried  switching modal properties to no avail.
the toolbar is loaded in the first movie after the stub with
gNavigation=window"Navigation"
  gNavigation.filename= "navigation.dir"
  gNavigation.windowType=3
gNavigation.modal=false
  gNavigation.visible=false
  window("Navigation").rect=rect(the stageRight-226,the stageTop+1,the
stageRight-4,the stagetop+58)
  window("Navigation").movetofront()

and then each movie initiates it with
 window("Navigation").movetofront()
  window("Navigation").visible=true
the tool box is called thus from the toolbar


on mouseup me
  global gtoolbox
  gtoolbox=window"toolbox"
  gtoolbox.filename= "toolbox.dir"
  gtoolbox.windowType=3
  gtoolbox.modal=false
  gtoolbox.visible=true
end mouseup me

my hair lays in piles on the floor

Cordially yours
Andy smith
