- I wish to "play" a QuickTime movie and "quit" a stack through a
- background "Quit" button. I cannot play the movie and quit the stack
- in the button script. How can this be done?
-
- I have temporarily got around this problem by adding to each card
- script (since each card has a "Quit" button) the following:
- on closeMovie
- go last -- quit doMenu routine on card script
- end closMovie
-
- This is awkward, it limits the playing to one movie and requires the
- repetitive scripting on each card.
-
- This is our first home-made application of movie clips to student
- teaching. This clip instructs a medical student how to correctly
- shut down the MAC, external hard-drive and power supply.
-
- I recall a newsgroup user asking how to shutdown the mac from within
- a stack and was advised not to do this by a respondent. Any comments
- on this process?
-
- Comments or suggestions either on this group or directly to me would
- be appreciated. I would be pleased to pass on what I learn to any
- interested party.
