This button script initalizes some values: on mouseUp global x put empty into x CloseMovie end mouseUp and this handler does the work: on closeMovie global x add 1 to x if line x of fld TheList is empty then exit closeMovie else put line x of fld TheList into TheMovie open movie TheMovie set the topLeft of window TheMovie to "236,78" send "play" to window TheMovie set the CloseOnFinish of window TheMovie to true end if end closeMovie You can set also the location of the Quicktime window to better integrate into your design. You can also set the window style, the visibility and layer. Don't know how much you know, or need to fiddle with. :-) > <http://home.golden.net/~samu> < > There's a crack in everything.
