I am using the VBAnimation VBX in Visual Basic and I am trying to display text over the .FLC after it stops playing. I am using the TextOut() API function to do this. I pass to the function, Flic.handle, 100, 100 and no text appears. This function works fine with any other window handle. What's Up? Dave Smith Micro Interactive 76216,3341

This tidbit of information might supply a reason, but I'm not sure of a solution. -Brian begin included message ————————————————————————- Remember, the player window is really two windows. First there is the child window, the one you create from your application. Then there is a second borderless windows that is carefully laid on top of the child, only its not a child window, its a parent window of the AAPLAY.DLL. This is why it can't be controlled because it really isn't owned by the application that is using the DLL. ——————————————————————————- ———
