We have the same problem `Loading From Scene' must have a bug because we can just about crash LW everytime we use it on our Alphas with 131 megs of ram. There are other bugs like moving the Windows requestor, Load Object or Image (can't remember which) will shut LW down without giving any error message.

Anthony, I don't know about the Alpha version, but on the Intel version "Load from scene" seems to crash because of infinite parenting loops. The error message flashes almost too fast to see on my Pentium, so on an Alpha it's probably near subliminal speeds. Anyway, if you replace all null objects in a scene with a discretely named null object(s), Load from Scene works. at least, it does for me. It's a pain, but if you have to reload an object heirarchy often, it's worth doing. See ya, -Kent S. Lidke
