Possible SORT Object problem

Hey all,
I have a .dts object with a 'hard coded' shadow beneath it (a translucent shadow texture mapped onto a plane) that is rotating on top of another .dts object.
The shadow textured poly is only visible from certain angles and certain distances. But....when I move the object with the translucent map off of the .dts object beneath it, everything works fine.
I read the docs and figured the solution was to make the .dts object with the translucent texture a SORT:: object.
No luck. The translucent shadow texture is still only visible from certain angles and certain distances.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
K

Wow. I'm a really cynical and negative person :D

The solution to the issue was to add the SORT:: code to both .dts objects....the object on top (a laptop computer) and the object on bottom (a wooden table).
Now the shadow shows up just like I had hoped and dreamed it would.

Too tough for the garage games folks but not too tough for your friendly, neighborhood Graphics Guy! :)The solution to the issue was to add the SORT:: code to both .dts objects....the object on top (a laptop computer) and the object on bottom (a wooden table).
