aString = aString.char[1..(index - 1)] & newChar & \

but why bother when the old school works so much easier?

I used the Infrared-port of my Powerbook, which worked quite fine - although
only for my Nokia 8210 and my Ericsson T68. For the communication I made a
small app, which sends the SMS via the 'do script' event (which Director
fortunately understands) to Director... For the way back I wrote a little
Xtra, which sends the stuff back...

Worked like a charm... (somehow :-))

Horizontal shearig in D8.5 3d

2002-03-06 Thread Kevan Dettelbach

Hi all,

I've noticed in some cases, I'm getting some nasty shearing artifacts in
shockwave 3d. This occurs when the camera is rotated about the y-axis and
the shearing occurs where there are strong vertical boundaries such as wall
edges. This effect can be minimized by using textures with horizontal
components, but the shearing effect is still visible if you look closely.

I'm running on a PC in XP with a nVidia Geforce 2 card using direct x7. Any
information would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevan Dettelbach

Re: Sms to lingo ... ???

2002-03-06 Thread Florian Bogeschdorfer

There are GSM modem cards available (PC). They cost around 500 Euro. You
can send 60 SMS/minute max and receive 30SMS/minute (either or). I don't
know how you would communicate with Director, perhaps the direct
communication xtra would do it.

I have build a very large SMS flirt application, but I have used a
special service provider with SMS-C server and a raw socket connection
to send/receive SMS. Output/Input rate: up to 3200 SMS/min

feel free to ask, if you need more infos

Re: printing from a Shockwave movie

Thanks for the info.  Unfortunatelty I don't think that the Flash option would
work out because the image is going to be composited in Director (using imaging
Lingo) based on user interaction and then needs to be printed.  I suppose if I
had to I could do something fancy like use DirectImage to export the image and
the have Flash import it and print it.  But hopefully Printomatic will just
work ...

Re: OT:DV to digital - compressor

2002-03-06 Thread Charlie Fiskeaux II

For the highest quality possible on CD I would go with DivX or MPEG4.  (They're the 
same thing.)  With them, you can get ultra-high
quality with very little processor overhead (combined with a small file size, that 
makes it the ultimate codec).  The only problem
with it is that QuickTime doesn't support it yet... You can get free codecs for 
Windows Media Player and Mac QT, though, as well as
a free DivX player.

Well, that's interesting. If they're advertising that it works, it

what end users have in place. POM used to get wobbly in 16 bit color

I'd recommand making a handler in your Director movie that does the 
navigation and variable setting for you. So the Flash would be:

   on (release) {
 getURL ( "lingo: NavigateFromFlash" )
   }

...and in your Director file:

   on NavigateFromFlash
 globalVar = whatever
 go "questions"
   END NavigateFromFlash

You should be able to pass params to the handlers you call that way 
too, letting you use the Flash events to pass stuff to Director that 
you want stuffed into the global var.

Hope this helps!

printing from a Shockwave movie

2002-03-06 Thread Leah Kramer

Can someone tell what the status is of printing from a Shockwave movie?  It's
been a while since I had to look into this.  What works best on PC and Mac?
(via Director's native printing, Printomatic, some other Xtra?)

I remember that at one time Printomatic would only work via Shockwave on the PC
and not the Mac.  On Electronic Ink's website, it seems to day that this now
works on Mac.

Thanks!

Believe it or not, this is really not a bad plan you've hit upon 
(even if it seems rather unexpectedly baroque), as it lets Director 
know a MIAW has closed safely and that the projector can exit without 
giving you an IML32.DLL crash.

I've done variants myself of this using behaviors rather than globals 
but your method's an equally valid approach.

In my behavior I set a boolean prop to true when the window is 
opened; on each exitFrame I test to see if that's still true. If it 
is, I then see if the window has been closed or not. If it has, I do 
a forget on it and then set the boolean back to false; else I know 
the user has not clicked the MIAW's close box, so I want to leave it 
alone. Wonky, but this really is a safer way to do thigs with MIAWs 
than having them self-destruct.

when the user clicks the exit button in the MIAW it would send a value of 2
then I wrote a litte

global var
on exitframe me
if var = 2 then quit
else go the frame
end

I started with the plain quit command but having to follow it with the three

Re: OT:DV to digital - compressor

2002-03-06 Thread Lene Renee Hansen

Dear Tanya
You have a problem! Most compressors can´t cope with files larger than 1.9
gig. Probably you have to split the file into two files to make it work.
Usely I will suggets mpeg1 for the best quality - playable on both Mac and
PC platform. On a Mac platform it is best to bye Mediacleaner 5.1 and export
your videofile in DVD (MPEG) and burn it with f.i. Nero 5.1. Nero is able to
DVD playable in a DVD-player.

Valign?

2002-03-06 Thread atejerina

Hi all!

Is there anyway to get the vAlign work in a text.html?

We're trying to put a html into a text. There is no problem with 
this, but Director doesn't understand the vAlign in the  tag. Is 
there anyway to do this?

We need to center (vertically) some text in some celds of the table 
of our html, and then put it in our text on the stage.

Thanks!

Ah. Right. It's time for me to shutup. I abandoned this sort of approach
years ago -- I'm not knocking the approach -- but I've steered away from
top-down planning. These days I'm into setting up swarms of inherently dumb
objects with a vague idea of what's good for them and what isn't and then
letting sort themselves out, or die.

Re: AW: access to the name of a parent script fromwithin the script

2002-03-06 Thread Andreas Gaunitz P11

Michael,

OK, sorry about that. I didn't know as I never use ancestors, but 
either use handlers to adress objects within objects or an explicit 
"path":

Explicit path:
An object  has a "memory" object  which keeps notes 
and control data etc for a synth. The RAM object has a list property, 
.

tmpPatternData = sequencer.RAM.getCurrentPattern()

I prefer this to using ancestors because the explicit adressing of 
handlers helps me keep track of the structure of the program. 
Hopefully my structure is so logical that it helps rtaher than gets 
in the way =)

-A.

Oh that A * ! I've done quite a bit of this sort of stuff over the past few
