Re: AW: can I lock screen over more than one handler?

I have a suggestion, if nothing else works. Use two players, layered on top of each other. When you switch the source of a player, do it to the player on the bottom, then move it to be on top of the other player. By switching back and forth, and only reassigning the player on the bottom, it

Re: AW: can I lock screen over more than one handler?

I have found that lock screen only blocks screen updates within the main LC context. So, for example, it does not block whatever is happening in a browser. For some reason, it also sometimes seems smoother to call a function rather than a handler, but perhaps I misperceived what was happening.

AW: can I lock screen over more than one handler?

Thanks Jonathan, Trevor and Sean for your comments. Meanwhile I could drill down my "flickering" problem (post from yesterday) to an unexpected command. In one of those handlers I "set the filename of player "myVideoPlayer" to tFile". This command withdraws the focus from the window and passes it

Re: can I lock screen over more than one handler?

Hi Tiemo, The solution here is to call another lockScreen at the beginning of handler2. You don't have to use the unlockScreen at the end of handler 1 and 2 as it will do that automatically but it is advisable to include the command anyway. Is there a reason why you had an aversion to using a
