Player Object problem

[Barry Levine]

I have a few Player Objects in my stack that contain QT movies. I have no problem triggering the playing of the movies at the appropriate times. However, I do have a problem getting the movies to maintain the display of their last frames or even to set them to the last frames via Transcript. This occurs when I leave the current card, move to another, and then return. The movie's currentTime resets to 0. Okay, I can understand that might happen so I'll add some code to my stack script. Here is my code:

on doThis
go next card
-- (then do something there)
go prev card
-- (now we're back on the card where the movie is)
set the currentTime of player "player1" to the duration of player "player1"
end doThis

The problem is that the currentTime remains at 0 when I test this using the messageBox.

However, if I add a button (named "setMaxDuration") on the card with the code:

on mouseUp
set the currentTime of player "player1" to the duration of player "player1
end mouseUp

...that works! So I have to change my stack code to:

on doThis
go next card
-- (then do something there)
go prev card
-- (now we're back on the card where the movie is)
send mouseUp to button "setMaxDuration"
end doThis

Have I found a bug (or found one that has already been identified months ago)? The bootm line is that I'd like to have the card remain exactly as I left it when I return to it. It seems that the player objects do not have persistency. Am I not setting the various options correctly?

BTW - The lista who recommended setting the UI to Mac (away from Appearance Manager) if running in Jaguar was quite correct. Rev 1.1.1 has stopped crashing as long as I set this properly immediately upon launch.

Thanks,
Barry
