One of the problems I have had with HyperCard stacks (and the X-Media 
templates are HyperCard based) has to do with the way HC stacks run.  
HyperCard instructions are interperted as they run.  Often the cpu is so 
fast that the next instruction starts "running" before the previous line 
of code finishes.  My solution to this is to insert wait commands in the 
code itself.

If you can find the line that causes the error and insert "wait 1 secs" 
without quotes before it, it may solve your problem.  Then again, are 
you using any software that works from the 1990's.

Good luck.
