Dear Visitor, First turn off your cap lock. HARD TO READ AND MEANS SHOUTING. Next Animator Pro doesn't let you go backwards through a presentation. If you need that capability, upgrade to the new Animator Studio and use the Scriptor to build your scripts for Windows. Put a marker wherever you want and jump to the marker. Use the Slideshow command to automatically put markers between all entries. Works pretty good. Good luck!

>> I CURRENTLY USE ANIMATOR PRO TO MAKE ANIMATED PRESENTATIONS. THEY TYPICALLY ARE 60 TO 100 FLICS IN LENGTH. I NEED HELP WITH THE SCRIPTING LANGUAGE! I CAN'T BACK UP THROUGH MY PRESENTATION ONCE I HAVE HIT ENTER AND PASSED THE LAST FLIC. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO BACK UP AT ANY POINT IN THE PRESENTATION TO THE LAST FLIC VIEWED, AND THEN BACK FROM THERE, ETC. IF ANYBODY CAN HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM, PLEASE LEAVE ME A MESSAGE ON THE SCRIPTING LANGUAGE SHOWING ME AN EXAMPLE OF HOW TO WRITE A SCRIPT FILE THAT WILL BACK UP THROUGH MY PRESENTATION. THANK YOU, JAMES R. BEARY JR. << hi visitor. please turn CAPS LOCK off… in forum jargon this means you are yelling, although it is highly possible that it your intention. <g> take a serious look at "keychoice" in the Player Manual. it shows how, with a single keystroke, you can get to any flic or image in any order. by creating keychoices 0-9 to load scripts and by using keychoices a-z, you can literally access over 250 "animated slides" in a single script. work with it first, come back if you have some questions on it. i'll be happy to walk you through it, but it would help if you read about it a bit first. -dave
