This isn't really enough information to help you. Do you have
any scripts in your movie? Is your movie suppose to pause on the
frame with your images? If so, what method are you trying to use to
make it pause?

Hi,



Maybe the sprites are no more under the timeline at the
moment they dissapear, have you added a stop frame? if yes check if
the images are at that frame, in the sprite channel , the line must
intersect the sprite in the sprite channel.



Daniel.
From your description it sounds like you had a ''go to the
frame'' command

in one of the first few frames of the score, and now it's
been removed,

and so the playback head shows the sprites at the start and
then keeps

going on past those frames.



When you run the movie, you should be able to see the
playback head move

across the score. Is this what's happening?

hey dillon,



the movie is playing fine and all the scripts are fine and go
to frame are all intact, the problem is when i open the movie in
director the menus and pop up menus that are supposed to be
invisible are on, i already set the visibility to 0. when i click
on the play button then they dissapear, but before i click on the
play button the menus are on screen, its like some kind of
preloading problem or something. when i create a project the movie
plays but you see a quick glimpse of the menus pop up.



thanks, rob
How are you setting this visibility property? Are you using
the button

at the left end of the sprite channel? Or are you using
Lingo? If you

are using Lingo, then the contents of a sprite channel will
usually be

visible if the movie is not running in Authoring mode. Once
it starts to

run, the code tells the sprites to be not visible.



Is this what you're seeing, or is it something else?
