Okay... From the Dictionary:

Description:

Use the dontUseQT property to test operation of a stack using the built-in MCI video on Windows systems, or to use built-in visual effects rather than QuickTime effects.

Cool! For Windows, I will use:

on preOpenStack
  if the platform is "Win32" then set the dontUseQT to true
end preOpenStack

Thanks again guys!

Have a GREAT weekend!

Cheers from Florida,

Hi Mark,

That did it! Thanks! 8-)

By the way... If setting "dontUseQT to true" in an app. for the Mac, will
the wipe effect still work?

Thanks again,

- Boo

Hi Boo,

Probably, QuickTime is loading the first time you use a visual effect.
Getting the qtVersion before using a visual effect might fix this.

Hi All,

I have a standalone (running under Windows 7) that has a problem... From the LiveCode IDE, everything works as expected. However, when I create a standalone .exe file and run it, there is a delay on the first screen when clicking on the Next button. The card transition is set to a "wipe left" visual effect. The problem is, when I load the program and click on the Next button for the first time, there is a long delay (almost 4 seconds), then the next card loads by wiping left. When I click on the Back button the speed is normal, and when I click on the Next button again, the speed is normal... The problem only occurs when I click on the Next button for the first time. (This looks very awkward and unprofessional.) I removed the visual effect and tried it, and the speed is normal. (So the problem obviously has something to do with using a visual effect.)

Any idea as to why this is the case? Again, it works as expected when running the stack in the LiveCode IDE...

Thanks,

- Boo
