Nik, Since you are using the version 2.2.2 of PDF Xtra, do you know if the peoples who experienced this hanging issue are opening their PDFs with Acrobat/Reader 6? Acrobat/Reader 6 started to be supported with PDF Xtra 3, so it would make sense that they are having problem opening their PDFs if

Hi Michael, 2 ideas: 1) if you only want to block lingo generated alerts, not error alerts, just put a on alert nothing end in some movie script of your miaw, which overwrites the alert command. 2) instead of changing the alerthook you could also have different return values in your alerthook

In the cast window, thumbnail view, there's a way to set a bitmap or pattern for cast members. E.g., you could have all your parent scripts red, all your behaviors yellow, and so on. You can also do patterns like stripes. How do you do that? It's a great visual cue when you have a lot of cast

Property Inspector. Right click the icon for the cast member. You can clear, copy, or paste the bitmap. Some of the standard sizes are: 55x41, 110x81, and 165x123. roymeo At 10:13 AM 1/21/2005, you wrote: In the cast window, thumbnail view, there's a way to set a bitmap or pattern for cast

I think the only standard size is that which matches the thumbnails in the Behavior Libraries. I think thats 21 X 21 pixels off memory. There is some scaling involved with your cast preferences, and the dimensions of the source image. All of which play into the quality of the thumbnail image. A

You can use any size you want. Doesnt matter in the least bit. Thumbnails do have an optimal size, 21 X 21 or whatever it is, at which they do not get scaled up or down. Anything else gets its thumbnail scaled which can be detrimental to some well thought out artwork. Its not that the image data

Yeah, I know the 165x123 gets scaled down, but it is also rectangular, whereas 26x26 isn't. 55x41, thenif you're at medium size, anyway, is what huge images get scaled down to. (I tend to like the director-scaling that happens with the 165x123...) roymeo, pedantic At 11:27 AM 1/21/2005,
