dxscript every time. It has so much scope. Just need to wait till it's a bit more stable.
Boxxi: How do you mean? Sending a message from one object to another to play an animation? Or am I misunderstanding?

I can't get my head around resolution independance 
I think the way I start my themes precludes them being res independant. I should look at starting with that goal in my head.
Yay, elvee, another vote for text objects! they are cool aren't they?

Yes Phil, that's exactly what I mean!!! Hippy tried to explain it to me, but when I tried it I just ran into a brick wall. Must be doing something wrong.

Boxxi: Get yerself on IRC or MSN or something and I'll try my best to explain it. I can also do a avi for yer of how to set up one if you have an animated object and a trigger object you want to send me.

I also think the pop-up feature is very underrated, you can do some cool things with that too.
I am currently trying to figure out how to make an animation run once when you click a button, because I have a good idea for a theme if I can make that work! If anyone knows how to do it, pleeeeeze let me know.
I must admit, I really like the fact that you can do text based objects in DX, I guess that is my favourite feature.
