NICE. i think it worked bikermouse, thanks.

about the slow avi, it could be that your computer is slow and the avi is really hi-rez. try using one of bryce's built in compressions for avi, like the DIVX ones. they make the file size much smaller and it runs way faster, but still looks the same.

no compression got me a 7.4 meg avi, and with compression got me a 220KB avi. and they look exactly the same but the smaller file runs faster.
