How do you start a voice/song/speech, do some stuff, then wait for the speech to finish? How do you "drag" a new screen on? How do you use this sucker with "only" 2 Meg? -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' <peter@sugar.hackercorp.com>.

This should make things synchronize again. I have only tried this for a SMUS file, but I believe that it would work in a similar way for the other two. This is shown in the MULTIMEDIA example that comes with AmigaVision (I think it is that example, it may be another..) 2) I haven't found a way to drag a new screen on, however you could do that type of transition with ILBM files if they have the same palette. You probably do want to turn double buffering on. I would like to know how to do this sort of transition with pictures that have different palettes myself. 3) Don't have too much junk running in the background... If your harddrive has a large amount of buffers, try reducing the number of buffers... I seem to use less than 2 megs when I'm in AmigaVision even with other programs running and about 700 blocks of disk buffers.... Also, don;t try and preload too much stuff. I hope this helps.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Robert M.
