lingo-l MX and Flash?

2002-12-31 Thread Matt Wells

As I contemplate the large expenditure for a new director version I only
have one major question. Will or does the MX version handle flash with a
bit more ease than in previous versions. 

I have written a CD-ROM in director and many cast members are in fact
made in flash. So, I have found that when using more and more flash
elements though out my presentations the quality in performance does in
fact grow to be less and less.

Please tell me that someone from macromedia has foreseen this major
flaw!

Thank you,
Matt

Sure. Alert Whatever

Or if you want more control, look at either:
1) Buddy Api xtra (baMsgBox())
2) Mui xtra (really great control but a bit complicated)
3) using a movie in a window.

Or maybe, depending on what you want, a text or field member whose text 
gets changed by code.

something happens, either an event or a calculation
member(MessageBox).text = Hey! Something happened

the message will stay there until you change it.

Macromedia have tightened and extended the connection between Flash and 
Director in MX. You have, for example, pretty much full access to 
ActionScript, even without having a Flash sprite on stage.

I don't think it's going to run much faster, though. The problem always has 
been, and still is, that Director launches an instance of the Flash Asset 
Xtra for every Flash sprite. Twenty Flash sprites, 20 instances of the Xtra 
gobbling up memory, CPU cycles, and resources.

There are a few ways of optimizing, if you need a lot of Flash sprites.
- Make the sprites DTS when possible
- Make the sprites static (in the score, not with Lingo) until they're needed
- Set the idleHandlerPeriod to 0
- Don't make the Flash sprites run in lockstep with Director
- If you can, slow the Director frame rate way down--say, 2-4 fps

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson

Aha. The MUI Xtra offers this kind of functionality, including a 
Yes/No/Cancel style box. You can look for information on it at 
macromedia.com, or consult an article on it at director-online.com. On 
both sites use the search term mui dialog to get results.
