I have a similar setup, with two 1024 x 768 monitors, running XP Pro, and I get [rect(0, 0, 1280, 1024), rect(-1280, 0, 0, 1024)]. That's with Director XP. At least NT gives you the right desktop size. Both of the above desktoprectlists are correct. The first one is correct because the desktop has been set up to be a single screen (with the task bar stretching across the bottom of both I guess?). Kerry's one (which I've seen too) is where the task bar screen is arranged to be to the right of the other screen.

Re: Re:testing for resolution with dual monitors
OK, so this means that: (the stage).rect = the deskTopRectList[1] (the stage).drawRect = the deskTopRectList[1] will really screw things up on machines with this set-up?

It works fine.

intranet database
Hi everyone, im not sure if i can do this with director, but my boss asked me to create an intranet database. what he wants is for 10 users to be able to create new records through an interface, search records, delete and input records. i was thinking i could do this with an html interface that uses asp and access databases. Maybe there's a way to do this with director but im not sure. If anyone has ever created such a program can you please help me. I don't know what to do. thanks everyone [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 [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
