Mark, You can tell if a user clicked on a movie by trapping the mouseUp in the movie. You can tell if a movie is playing in the following way:
on mouseUp answer isPlaying(long id of player 1) end mouseUp function isPlaying tTarget put the currentTime of tTarget into tTimeA wait 10 milliseconds put the currentTime of tTarget into tTimeB return (tTimeA <> tTimeB) end isPlaying Hope this helps, Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mitchell Mark" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2002 5:48 AM Subject: Counter for Player > Trying to make a simple 'counter' for a player.
