Movie plays, but playback head won't move!

[rcroft]

This is a quaint problem that has turned up in a couple of our lab machines (G4 Macs). In *any* movie, new or old, when we click play, the playback head acts as if there is a looping script in the first frame. Only there is no looping script. I have search Director references for some obscure preference that would freeze the playback head in place, with no luck. I even re-installed the las update.

Any suggestions?

Test with fresh barebones movie - if it fails then trash the preference file and even if that fails then reinstall Director from scratch…!

Late Friday afternoon panic. Gee. I installed Director updates, did everything...except re-boot the machine. It finally dawned on me to try that, and the problem was gone.

Appropriate to 'fess up on April 1.

Good to know the problem has gone! Good weekend!
