It's really not clear what you are trying to accomplish, but here is
an approach that I have used in projects with multiple movies, maybe
you can use something similar.
Each movie links to one common external castlib, lets call it
GCode.cst (for global code castlib). In this castlib, I have a

Yes, I can see where it could possibly make things simpler, but it is

Unfortunately, you can't. Lingo doesn't allow you to have two movie script

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone uses Quicktime to playback Mpeg-1? Or what are
the advantages of using MpegAdvance Xtra (apart from not requiring a
Quicktime 6 install)?

Peter,
You should not be worried about the amount of memory used by local
variables. All local variables are allocated using a stack
mechanism. When you call a handler, space for local variables is
allocated on the top of a stack (actually, it might be done when

I generally only leave one member editable, switching the property at

Yes, but doubling 384 x 288 works nicely with PAL:s vertical resolution of 576, if
that's what you're aiming for.

For size, it depends on the audience. If it's a kiosk and you control the

We use the video of 480x360 with the Sorenson Pro version 3.xx, if you
don't have it. Its very important to compress the video I use 15fps and
