"after a click on the PLAY button it would be very helpful if a second click on the same button would STOP the animation. " Ok… I will add that. The mouse update problem you are having is graphic card related. We have done a LOT of experimenting with this, and the problem centers around having a high speed screen update under DOS. Faster machines/graphics cards flicker less. But even some of our fast machines will flicker the mouse alot when we use a slow graphics card. We are still working on it. Also we have changed a few things with the next release. (since you brought up the scrub bar) The scrub bar action has been changed so that you can use the caps-lock key as your jog/shuttle key. When you are in caps-lock (or shift) it will be locked to single frame accuracy. The normal mode has been rescaled so that you can now move in smaller increments easier. You can still move completely from one end of the animation to the other, but it is now much easier to move around a small portion of the animation with normal mouse movements. Brick
