menu problems
I have a simple movie with two bits of text and three menu options on it.
it works fine, but...
When I play this movie as part of my main movie, only the text appears - not the menu options!
Why are these missing when its part of another movie?
Cheers,

Thanks, I'll take a closer look at the menu options.
What I really don't understand is:
in the menu movie the menu is always visible - there are no hide actions.
But when its played in the main movie the menu fails to appear (only the text that accompanies it shows up)...
I've also found that setting the 'show at start of movie' icon to OFF stopped some of my menus from appearing later - even when later events Showed them! I had to leave the 'show at start' icons set to ON and put a HIDE menu event at the start of the movie!
I love 3DFA for the ease with which it is possible to do great effects, but it drives me to despair sometimes, as the logic seems to be inconsistent. I'm sure there is a reason for my menus inconsistent behaviour...anyone else know?
If anyone wants to look at the movie (its not too big), email me and I'll send it to you.

you don't have to despair.
every prog has its problems, but my experience says that mostly it's MY fault. there are little things i haven't seen.
so keep on trying ;-)

The problem is 'SHOW AT START OF MOVIE'.
with this set to ON, the menu appears and works fine.
If I set SHOW AT START to OFF (because I want the menu to appear after an intro)the menu movie will not appear later, either by showing with a transition or placing it - the menu fails to appear!
What's going on?

PLACE ELEMENT will show the 'hidden at start menu' if I move it to near the beginning of my events list, but anywhere past the third event and it fails to work. Why should it change its behaviour just because of the order in which it is placed?

Thanks for your helpful email.
I've found I can get the menu to appear if I turn off the animation style 'fade' setting for the menu. Is this a bug?
