Re: AW: AW: lingo-l tell when importFileInto is done?

Hi Michael, Sorry I misunderstood. Try this instead... Create your dummy cast members as 1 pixel bitmaps (you need some kind of image in there because this will be making use of the media property, I only say this cause you can create a dummy member simply by opening a paint window giving it
