Luv your work guys.. but the visual effect bug is still present :( I've decided to do a MAC/PC CDROM project with 2.4 (with a deadline of mid-july) which requires a lot of nice smooth transitions for hundreds of beautiful wildlife imagery. Beta software it may be but I'm very happy that QT effects are accessible directly from MC. Blendlevel is also very handy. With access to the image buffers I'm sure it would be easy to roll your own routines to emulate all the QT effects but who has time for that?? :) It's great not having to pre-render quicktime effects for the simple display of still images... but a bug is a bug.. i'll try to explain in more detail what i'm trying to do, maybe some1 could suggest another way. the main problem seems to be when i simulate a cross-fade by either: 1. Having 2 images grouped, both the same dimensions stacked 1 directly on top of the other. The top one is initially hidden slowly dissolved in with a show with visual effect command. 2. Having 1 image displayed. Locking the screen while putting a 2nd image into the 1st image container with a show with visual effect command before unlocking. In both cases (mac-only, fine on pc) OCCASIONALLY while the 2nd image is coming on it flickers with askewed corruption. I'm using the crossfade for rollover images a slideshow and it also occurs for other effects (although I havent tested all the effects). I've got round cross-fading by designing a nice fading system using blendlevel but using some of the other effects would be nice for displaying text/image panels. Any suggestions?

Re: More Decorations..
The border is off, but there is still a black *outline* around the card. This is what I want to get rid of. The Monte wrote: You must have the show border set to true in the card that is open. Probably without 3D if it's just black. The stack only has the window as a border but the card has this property. Then Simon wrote again: I know how to make decorations disappear, but I seem to forget how to get rid of that 1 pixel wide black boder which remains. Anyone remember what the command is to remove that as well? I want no decorations and no border whatsoever on this particular stack... I guess you're on Mac becaause this has to do something with a platform- particular thing. You have to change something in the resource fork, I think. Andu? I've just encountered this problem on the MAC with a borderless stack with white background etc which works fine on PC. Black of course is fine but any other colour... hmmm ... ive looked round but can you just somehow set this colour? How do you hide or get rid of this border ?? any 2.4 options/hacks welcome :) alex Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard@lists.runrev.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED], not this list.
