Now why didn't I think of it? <grin> The card in question has a large number of buttons, laid out in a grid, it would definitely cause a slowdown to have a handler disable all the buttons before playing the movie, and then enable them all again. A transparent button over it all is the perfect solution! I did things like that in Hypercard all the time, when I'd show graphics and even with the opaque box checked, text from underlying fields would show through. So I'd create a card size button, color it and use it as a backdrop, and voila, problem solved. Thanks! I spent hours trying to solve this one yesterday, ach!
