Windows- altering an images layer inside a repeat loop

[Ian Wood]

Thanks again!

alwaysBuffer of the player was set to false, because you cannot 
interact with the player when it is set to true.

I'll have to code in a change to true when the 'Make Movie' button is 
clicked.

Ian

P.S. I'll be trying out some of the Rev bits from your site, there are 
a few rather useful bits on there...
