Hi Charles, I was thinking about trying the approach you suggest but I wasn't convinced it would run smoothly because my looping movie has 300 frames.
But now that I've read about your results I will try it, maybe removing some frames of the movie before. You used the hidden cards method, probably activating the visible property, buy in my case I will try the filename method, to avoid having so much frames loaded in memory. After writing my last message I've found a different approach, consisting in creating the movie as QuickTime (the first was an mp4) and applying the Photo - JPEG compressor. Even it is not as smooth as I would like viewing it using the slider, all the frames are shown. I will let you know about the results of my next steps. Thanks for your answer and Best Regards. ______________________________ Sergio Schvarstein sschvarst...@gmail.com ______________________________ El 28/05/2012, a las 19:00, use-livecode-requ...@lists.runrev.com escribió: > Hi Sergio, > I have a little desktop stack I've been playing with.
