Visual effects - simulated sheet look

[Marty Knapp]

Hey,

I'm trying to simulated the OSX sheet effect for a stack that will be 
used on OSX and XP. I've tried a couple of visual effects that work OK 
on the Mac, but not the PC. My thought was to implement one solution 
that would work on both platforms. Here's what looks best so far on the 
Mac (older G4 OS 10.2.8, Rev 2.2.1):

lock screen
show group "LoadSearch"
visual effect wipe down
unlock screen

but on my PC it seems to have no effect and my group object just pops 
onto the screen. (a low-end e-machines)

I suppose another angle would be to move it off the visible screen and 
use a move command.

Any suggestions?
