I noticed something interesting about sprite movies under 2.3 (a4 and a5): when you select the arrow tool, the sprites stop doing whatever they're doing. But if you grab the player and resize it, move it, etc., the sprites will take a step each time you change the movie. This means that as you drag it, the movie advances in stutter steps, once for each visual update. This isn't bad in itself, but it does mean that the player is more difficult to position, because it jumps badly as you move it. On my G3 400, this is somewhat noticeable, but tolerable. I'd bet on a slower machine, it would quickly get annoying. Also, opening a stack from 2.3a4, with a player with a sprite movie in it, in 2.3a5, is bad news when you try to close that stack. It hung my Mac twice before I gave up on it. On the positive side, I've tried several more movies, and so far the results have been great! gc
