player visibility bug?

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Jacque,

As I do it usually, I verified with a QT movie before answering (Mac  
OS 10.4.1 - Rev build 77):

on mouseUp
   start player 1
   wait 1 second with messages
   hide player 1 -- then stops
end mouseUp

on mouseUp
   start player 1
   wait 1 second with messages
   set the botRight of player 1 to "-1,-1" -- does not stop (of  
course and fortunately :-)
end mouseUp

Best regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
