That sounds cool lightspeed. Working with the gifs Duskrider and I did, I found a few times that I had made just one tiny error. The directions have to be followed to the letter. Black screen? I got Vista, I get a white screen. I'm looking forward to see if any of our members post their own active backs.

LightSpeed,
Take the spaces out so the line looks like this:
\clock [t= 0.90] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore15.jpg
Of course take the spaces out at the jpg's too.

THnaks duskrider that was the problem now the only problem is that it just last for a 2 seconds the wave moving .
here is the clock setting i have :



\clock [t= 1.06] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore1.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.12] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore2.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.18] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore3.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.24] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore4.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.30] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore5.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.36] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore6.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.42] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore7.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.48] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore8.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.54] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore9.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.60] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore10.jpg]

\clock [t= 1.66] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore11.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.72] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore12.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.79] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore13.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.85] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore14.jpg]
\clock [t= 1.91] \loadbackgrnd [file= data/standard/activebacks/OCEAN/RockyShore15.jpg]

\clock [t= 1.96] \Load [file= OCEAN.hap]


I did this thinking it would make the waves run longer but didn't help any , how should it be set .
on teds the waves continually keep going .

Nige,
  Just tried it out, working great.  May change the lighting on the wall a little.  Lots going on with all this.
Next a tree with branches moving in the wind If anyone has time.

In the SKY folder under bakhap.zip

I know this topic is dated but answered in case a newbie or oldbie was interested in knowing where the "how-to" file was located. ;)
In the world of AI it's the thought that counts!
