Hello thd777.

thanks again!  I will check out your idea.  By the way, that tutorial link you provided is absolutely awesome. I had never thought of changing the material property luminosity and others like glow intensity to also simulate an objecting lighting up.  I tried it on the text I had on the one side of the box and it also looks not too bad and is animatable.  So far the options are looking good.  Once I get an update to Camtasia Studio for Windows 7 I'll be able to record what I'm doing so others can see what problems I may have.  I used to do that a long time ago but unfortunately the version I now have won't work on Windows 7.  Well, once again, thanks!
