I have used AV and interupt icons do work. You noted at the bottom of your posting that you are using 1.31 of AmigaVision. I shudder as 1.31 has some terrible problems, one of them being corruption of your flow file if you move icons too much. Your Amiga dealer has been given a update to 1.53g and I _strongly_ urge you to get this update. > > I have found another error not documented in the AV manual, > that occurred while I was testing the mouse interrupts in Amiga Vision. > If you have the synthesized voice reading a file (I was in this case having it read > s:startup-sequence) and have the mouse interrupt occur and show a > graphic image, Amiga Vision will pop up a screen that says something to > the effect of ERROR!!! Voice Active!. The error Voice Active means that you attempted to use sound while a sound was in progress. You should when processing a interupt, stop the current sound and then use your new sound. I _wish_ that AV would return a error code to the program or something besides that nasty requestor, and this has been communicated to Commodore. :-) > When I hit the OK button on this incredibly informative requester, > it gave me another requester asking me if I wanted to continue the > presentation or abort. > > I looked up the ERROR!!!

Lou Wallace of AmigaWorld has a book out that I think is a "must get" from what I have heard about it.

If you place a Mouse Interrupt hit box on the same form that you are using a data form on, while the data form is active, the Mouse Interrupt hit box will Not be active. P.S. I have visited my dealer and gotten the 1.53 update. > I have used AV and interupt icons do work. You noted at the bottom > of your posting that you are using 1.31 of AmigaVision.
