If not then a button or movie may open and be hidden underneath the last one. You could refine the actions to hide the previously opened objects.This is a bit simpler as it doesn't need to use a variableas a counter
Thank you very much, James.
The problem is that the user can view the movies in the order he wants, not always in the same order ... your solution would work in this case?
