In author mode, set you bg pattern to solid, place your junque in it etc. In reader mode, bg pattern to none
You should have your xp windows pop up in their own viewers. If you "animate" anything in the XP window, it leaves "trails", so no can do.
If I have xp viewers in my stuff, have a routine called "adjustXP" that I send when toggling to/from reader & author during development. Try this and see if it works (2 xp backgrounds: 1 "full" and 1 "half" screen)
--********** ADJUST TRANSPARENT BACKGROUNDS --
to handle adjustXP
if sysLevel = "author"
fillColor of background "halfXP" = black
pattern of background "halfXP" = solidFill
fillColor of background "fullXP" = black
pattern of background "fullXP" = solidFill
else
fillColor of background "halfXP" = white
pattern of background "halfXP" = none
fillColor of background "fullXP" = white
pattern of background "fullXP" = none
end
