Gary, I am having a nightmare this evening, it is getting late and I want to go home, I know that the problems I am facing this evening will still be there tommorow morning to ruin what would otherswise be a good day!!!! I am using your explode IPAS routine and cannot get my head around the time settings, I understand the frame envolopes and have used Snow and Rain with little or no hitches, I have an Explode which works fine for me except that it only lasts 15 frames and is then off screen, I would like to last approx. 30-40 frames. All of the time controls in the IPAS settings box are set to 0 and my gravity is set to 1, I have tried everything imaginable to lengthen the sequence (including adjusting the size/orientation of my bounding box and setting the End: to 40) but am now getting tired and so I have decided to pose this question to you "How do you make the duration of an explode longer ?" Any help would greatly improve my day tommorow. Phil
