In EP1, if a visual display object used both ClearAfter and PreRelease, the screen clear occurred after the full duration of the object regardless of the PreRelease, which is what I expect. I notice in EP2 that the screen clear now occurs as soon as the object reaches the PreRelease time -- that is, the screen goes blank during the PreRelease time, before the next object starts. I have attached a pair of test programs in both EP1 and EP2 so you can see this for yourself.
Is this a deliberate change in the specs for EP2? What is the reason for this change?
Thanks,

Oops, my mistake entirely, sorry. In my haste to create a pair of identical EP2 & EP1 programs, I missed the crucial step of using ClearAfter in the EP1 test program. D'oh!
So everything works the same in both versions. In addition, reflecting on the info in the online E-Basic Help, that is the way it must work. ClearAfter must clear the display as soon as the run method of the object completes, and that happens when it reaches its PreRelease time.
My apologies,
