Barn Door Open Problem

[Dan Shafer]

OK, so my SWAG was wrong. Sorry.

So I did some testing. Rev 2.6.1 on OS X 10.4.2.

Script:

on mouseUp
   set the explicitVariables to true
   hide image 1
   show image 1 with visual barn door open
   set the explicitVariables to false
end mouseUp

Everything works exactly as I expect. I tried removing the word  
"visual". Still works. I tried quoting the effect. Still works. I  
even tried using the same syntax as the line you said didn't work.  
Works fine.

So there's evidently something else going on in your stack or there's  
a platform-specific issue here.
