Hello friends: developing medical CBT-programs with Director (Mac-Version) we have a strange problem. Perhaps the error is old and the solution easy, but we donοΏ½t know it. Our program is consisting of 10 single movies. The stage size is different, because one is filling the total 13-inch screen, the other displays only a small window or a dialog box. Now the following problem occurs: Assume movie A with a 13-inch-stage is starting movie B (small window). => Everything is OK. Now movie B is returning to movie A. Result: The screen is "trashed", meaning that there, where movie B was, instead of the formerly hidden stage-areas are tousled stripes and other parts of the stage of movie A, belonging to, e. g., a screen corner. The problem can partly be solved with definite settings of the stage size in the preferences dialog. As soon as the program shall be started on another screen (e. g. 17 inch instead of 14 inch), however, the garbage is occuring again, because all of the preferences are "forgotten". Does anybody of you know the reason for this strange behaviour? Is this a bug in Director? Is there a trick to work around it? Please answer per eMail, too. Thank you, J. W.
