Screen flashes

[Leather Knight]

Ok, I have a number of databases linked. After I navigate to one from another, the screen flickers/flashes. Is there a way to do the navigating smoother so it looks better?

This subject has come up in the past. A search for your Keywords should provide you with plenty on this topic.

Some flicker is necessary when moving between layouts, to layout (file to file), etc., because FileMaker has to redraw the screen.

Some of the movement you describe may be unnecessary, and a change in your approach of what you are trying to accomplish might help to minimize it.

Why not describe what you are trying to accomplish, instead of the symptoms.

Thx Lee, Yeah I did a search, but couldn't find the answer.

I have 10 different fp7's and when moving from one to another without closing the previous, it flashes. If I have the main menu open up without opening the others, it does this. If I have it open them up at startup, it flashes crazily at startup.

Try using the Freeze Window Script Step in your script that opens them all in the beginning.

I have the same problem. Did the freeze window step solved the problem to you? :

Freeze doesn't work.

As soon as i navigate from one database to another, flashing windows still coming. :

if you are using Windows, try right clicking on your desktop, selecting properties and turning off windows minimize/maximize animations under the effects tab. (outside of filemaker)
