You can use a timeout object and a counter property to get the same functionality as a repeat loop. I use this approach often, when I'd like something going on that a repeat loop mike choke. Skeleton code for an object below: Thanks Kurt. This is exactly what I need. Cheers, .: Craig

Re: lingo-l password protection

Correct, for all practical purposes. Use QuickTime; it supports media keys that offer some measure of protection. If the pieces are short enough consider conversion to Flash MX video. You can import those directly into your cast and keep them internal. Unfortunately, neither were options.

Easy fixes: 1. Code for Mac. Option-e gives you é, option-c is ç, etc. Just get the brain-damaged way Win takes keyboard input out of the loop entirely, deploy on Mac, and watch everyone heave a huge sigh of relief. 2. If you or your client believe that Win is the best OS ever, add

lingo-l RE: frame scripts?

Frames are sort of like any other sprite - they have beginsprite me/endsprite, their sprite number is -5. You can also have your own functions that a frame will call from itself, just like any other behavior. But it sounds like what you need to do is more moviescript functions, right? Right.
