An interesting problem came up today that may concern someone using video XCMDs We are using the original video XCMDs sanctioned by Apple to drive various video disc players. Here's what happened: While pasting a card into a stack, it unexpectedly changed backgrounds. Before it was copied, the card had the same background of each of the cards it was to be pasted between. . After pasting it had created it's own background. This only seemed to be a problem in this one location. The problem?: We narrowed it down to a "video off" command in the close card script of the card we were at when calling the paint command. Very strange. It is only a problem during development, because we need to disable or remove the video script of any card at which we might want to call a paint command. I assume when we automate this process, we can use "lockmessages to true". Any comments?
