Tom, Thanks. The movie is part of a slide show type presentation, so just playing it in a browser window might be best. I have done this in the past using the cref browser, but it adds a lot to the app size. Not being able to play movies in livecode, is a severe shortcoming, and I hope the play

Hi, Bill. Seems the whole LC community is in a state of frustration regarding this. But one minimal method I find works to play an online movie is to embed a movie url in a LC field with the linkStyle set to "link". Then add to your stack a script... on linkClicked pLink launch url pLink end

A green-screen extraction on a large image requires millions of calculations.

Hi Jonathan, I would start by seeing if your LC code can be optimized so the time it takes per screen is acceptable. There are many small changes a person can sometimes make to code that causes dramatic speed increases. Or is the bulk of the time spent in areas LC can't address natively? May
