Animation > via VideoWorks HC-Driver or by XCMD. How much more flexible can you get? Surely you must be joking. The music capabilities of HyperTalk are completely inadequate, to wit: 1) music input is entirely textual, 2) only one note can play at a time, 3) the computer busy-loops while playing sound, 4) there is no velocity sensitivity. This is based on reading a book on HyperTalk. I have heard that Apple is addressing at least some of these issues. -- -- uunet!ficc!karl "The last thing one knows in constructing a work is what to put first." -- Pascal
