Opening A Word Document and Then Closing it??

[mrmdobrien]

I have a button in my presentation and when you clicked on it it opens up a word document.

This is all fine.

However once I close the opened word document the presentation jumps to another frame.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can stop it??

If you have "go the frame" script in the frame then the movie should stay in that frame.
The other possibility is to set "animate in background" option to false, so that the movie will pause when Word is in front.

How do you do this?

I have a "go thr frame" in place.

Animate in background" is a Projector setting you can set when creating a Projector. If this doesn't cure the problem, I'd make a simple test movie that opens a Word doc and see it works. I've just made one using Buddy and the frame definitely doesn't move when Word is closed. Use Buddy if you're not using it to open the doc.

Cheers it seems to be working a bit better now.

However, one of the images on the presentation next to the link disappears.

Have you ever had this problem?

You need to find out if the image has disappeared, changed its location, changed its registration point or became invisible. I do have experiences that image changes its location and/or reg point (especially in very complex movies) and that can appear to be the image is missing. The quick fix for this is to tell the image its loc and reg point in "enter frame me" behaviour, so that the image "moves" to one place every frame.
