In order to avoid that stupid behavior I spin the performance down making the engine release the cpu for 1 tick on mac (1/60 second) and 1 millisecond on a windows PC on every idle event. This impacts the playback speed of your movie too. So keep in mind, to close the tool miaw, if you make performance tests with your movie. Or, if you prefer, turn this feature of by simply commenting the line in the "on idle" handler in the first movie script.<br> 16 <p> 17 <br> 18 <br> 17 19 </font><font size=4><b>Requirements:<br> 18 </font></b><font size=3>This movie requires the Xtra "BuddyMenu" from Gary Smith, the maker of many great Xtras, like for example the indispensable "BuddyAPI".

Director 8.5 is missing the xtra, but fortunately the UIHelper Xtra from version 8 works with 8.5 as well. If you use "HandlerMenu" with D 8.5, copy the UIHelper Xtra from previous versions over to your D 8.5 Xtras folder.<br> … … 24 26 Windows: run setup.exe which is contained in the folder 'Java Components' on the root level of the D8 CD).<br> 25 27 <br> 26 Some of the built-in "Utility" handlers also require Xtras.

Two things to keep in mind:<br> 29 31 1.) the parameters are parsed form the menu string, so add the required parameters to the string, which appears in the menu, just like the other menu items.<br>
