lingo-l number of sprite channels.
In the help (dirMX) it clearly states that up to a 1000 channels cann be used, i am only allowed to use 150 though, the score window stops at this number. Does anyone know if it is a setting i've missed or if the help has led me up the garden path, i need to get 2500 (only upto 300 at a time)objects accurately positioned by tommorrow lunch and now i've sorted out the script to do it i cant as i'm only allowed 150 sprites at a time. On the same subject can you create a sprite dynamically or can you only have a 'sprite holder' which you can change the member of dynamically. cheers for your thoughts Lee Blinco Multimedia Developer AVR Productions +44 (0)1462 819603 [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email lingo-l@penworks.com (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

RE: lingo-l number of sprite channels.
Does anyone know if it is a setting i've missed ... Check out the Movie tab of the Property Inspector, there's a field for Channels if in normal view or an entry for lastChannel if in list view. This sets the total number of sprites your movie will use (note that this number is only editable in normal view, when in list view it is read-only). Understand that there is still a hard limit of 1000 maximum sprites that can't be broken so you'll have to work within that limit. On the same subject can you create a sprite dynamically ... There is score recording which is generally an author-time routine that you can use that doesn't require place-holder sprites, during recording sessions you can build your stage and sprites as needed and then when done, save your file. Give that a look in the docs and let us know if you have any questions.

- Original Message - From: Lee Blinco [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the help (dirMX) it clearly states that up to a 1000 channels cann be used, i am only allowed to use 150 though, the score window stops at this number. Does anyone know if it is a setting i've missed or if the help has led me up the garden path, Go to the movie properties - you'll see a box with 150 in it, which is the number of score channels. Increase the number to 300, or whatever you need, up to a maximum of 1000. i need to get 2500 (only upto 300 at a time) Are you saying you need 300 channels, or you need 2500 channels? Director won't allow more than 1000, but you can use LDMs or imaging lingo to get more objects onscreen at once. - Robert [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email lingo-l@penworks.com (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Re: lingo-l number of sprite channels.
There's an option on the Property Inspector - Movie tab to increase the number of available channels, but the upper limit really is 1000 [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email lingo-l@penworks.com (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

Re: lingo-l number of sprite channels.
Modify - Movie - Properties takes you to the Property Inspector. In there, turn the detailed display off, and you will see a place that says Channels. Change from 150 to whatever you want. Yes, you can easily change the member of any sprite dynamically. It can be done purely through Lingo, but the easiest way to do it is to put in a place holder member. Go to the paint window, create a new member, give it a name like Hide - no pixels, just a name. Now you have a member that you can put in a channel, but it takes up zero pixels! Any time you want, you just change the member of that sprite to whatever you want: property spriteNum ... sprite(spriteNum).member = member(whatever you want) to hide it again: sprite(spriteNum).member = member (Hide) Irv At 6:31 PM + 1/11/05, Lee Blinco wrote: In the help (dirMX) it clearly states that up to a 1000 channels cann be used, i am only allowed to use 150 though, the score window stops at this number.

When I've had to work with system keys like that in the past (like disable CNTRL-ALT-DEL to simulate and Windows NT training on a Win9X box), we had to write our own custom keyboard.dll. Invoke it when our program started and replace it with the system one, when we where done. Not an easy solution to implement, but it worked. Good luck, John === John R.
