This has definately worked in stopping the flicker but now there is a 7 second
delay whilst the lingo is switching the DTS to True, there is nothing else on
the screen at the time of the QT movie playing. If I disable the DTS switching
on and off, it plays through faster but I get the flicker back

I've never heard of switching the DTS taking any measurable amount of time
before. It may be a result of the image size. Could you elaborate on how you
are changing the DTS property? What does the function look like and where is it
placed?

is it possible to attach a jpeg of the timeline in these forums?
From: Mike Blaustein on
No, but you can post it to a free image service like bayimg.com or something

here is a screengrab of the score

[u][b]SCRIPT-ONE (makes the playhead stay on current fram till mouse is
clicked)[/u][/b]
on exitframe
go the frame

end exitframe

on mouseDown
_movie.go(_movie.frame + 1)
end mousedown

on endSprite
-- reset cursor when playback head leaves frame
cursor 200
end endSprite

[u][b]SCRIPT TWO(sets the movierate to 0 & sets DTS to false)[/u][/b]
on exitFrame me
SPRITE(1).movierate = 0
member("GENRE Natural History_DATA_6000").directToStage = FALSE
end exitFrame me

[u][b]SCRIPT THREE (sets the movierate to 1 & sets DTS to true)[/u][/b]
on exitFrame me
SPRITE(1).movierate = 1
member("GENRE Natural History_DATA_6000").directToStage = TRUE
end exitFrame me

It is when SCRIPT 3 kicks in that it slows down to a crawl
