lingo-l BuddyAPI question.
Hi, Might be a high stupidity rate on this one... Does BuddyAPI has support for Director MX on OSX?

Re: lingo-l MouseUp vs. rightMouseUp/Down
well, i don´t know if this will work for you. But i display my toolpis onmousewithin, it works fine and you don´t have to worry about rightmouseclick or leftmouseclick. But, again, i don´t know if this will look fine on your projrct. Regarding your question i don´t know why that happens, but my guess is that mousedown works for any button while righmousedown works only for the right button. So far it should work, but i guess that the mousedown button is the first handler called when you press any button so it checks your box and then rightmouseup is clicked and it also displays the tooltip, but im just guessing here - Original Message - From: John Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 3:24 PM Subject: lingo-l MouseUp vs. rightMouseUp/Down SYSTEM: WIN XP Pro, 256Mb RAM, D851 Project: Projector I have a checkbox sprite with the following script as part of the member: on mouseUp member(firstStoryCheckbox).hilite = TRUE member(secondStoryCheckbox).hilite = FALSE end Attached to the sprite is a help tip behavior that only functions when rightMouseDown is clicked over the sprite. The problem is, when rightMouseDown is clicked over the sprite, it drops a checkmark in the sprite. I thought that would only happen on mouseUp. But no. So my question is, how do I prevent rightMouseDown, or up, from dropping a checkmark in the sprite? Or put another way, the checkmark should appear in the sprite only when leftMouseUp is used.

RE: lingo-l Chinese Text Input Quirks
Thanks Kerry and Cath for your assistance, at least you gave me the motivation to try again as you both said it could be done. I haven't tried it with Korean Director, but I've gotten it to work with Japanese Director. Can you build a projector with the Japanese version? I can't even get it to install here, may be it needs a japanese localized windows which unfortunately I don't have available. Did the correct characters show up in the IME, and then appear incorrectly in Director? exactly. But only some characters appear incorrectly, others just look fine. Taiwanese Windows probably uses Big-5 encoding. Are your fonts Big-5, or perhaps GB encoded? Or maybe Unicode--that probably won't work. Director doesn't support Unicode, as you undoubtedly know, nor do Flash sprites in Director. Is your text or field sprite set to use the Chinese font? Have you tried it with a system font? both, tried many different fonts. You wrote the words all as one in your post. Did you enter them that way? yes. Some of the troubled chars do display if entered single, others don't regardless. Or did you try entering the syllables separately, e.g. wei shen me? And, are you sure you got the right tones? Wei4 shen2 me. I just picked the right chars w/o entering tones. Those are the things that occur to me. Sorry to grill you on some admittedly basic things. Let me know, and I'll see what I can figure out. After working through your checklist I suspected that maybe that IME with hanyupinyin input scheme doesn't mix with the Taiwanese windows, so I added another input option and started to struggle with bopomofo. The original test expressions all worked but later I found that only the selection of troubled chars had changed. Up to now the best results I had came with wxp after I followed this advice of Cath: On XP the crucial setting is under Regional and Language options/ Advanced/ Language for non-unicode programs. thanks again for your input Daniel Plaenitz [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]).

RE: lingo-l Chinese Text Input Quirks
I can't even get it to install here, may be it needs a japanese localized windows which unfortunately I don't have available. It should install on Chinese Windows. That's how I've always done Chinese programs--Japanese Director on Chinese Windows. I haven't used MX, though. After working through your checklist I suspected that maybe that IME with hanyupinyin input scheme doesn't mix with the Taiwanese windows, so I added another input option and started to struggle with bopomofo. The original test expressions all worked but later I found that only the selection of troubled chars had changed. The input method shouldn't matter, as long as you've chosen the right characters. Of course, pin yin is pretty much a Mainland thing, so it's possible there are some issues with it and the Taiwanese localized version. Most people I know in China don't use pin yin--they don't even know pin yin. So you may find some differences using bopomofo (which I've taken to calling mapadofu--ask a Chinese speaker, and you'll get a chuckle). Up to now the best results I had came with wxp after I followed this advice of Cath: On XP the crucial setting is under Regional and Language options/ Advanced/ Language for non-unicode programs. Well, there you go. Man, I'm glad I don't know *everything* ^_^ Cordially, Kerry Thompson [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]).

Re: lingo-l unexpected selection of a text member
You could try automatically setting the selStart and the selEnd to sprite(the keyboardFocusSprite).member.text.length every time the window in question becomes the activeWindow. I'm not sure if this will work since I stopped using editable text members after discovering that they seem to cause animated cursors to stop working after an editable text has been rolled over.

lingo-l Acrobat installer.
Hi, I am currently working on a director project that demands that the user have acrobat installed on the system; this is fine for OSX and Win, BUT I can't seem to get a hold of a complete installer for say... MAC OS 9.x or below - Adobe is only distributing an installer that connects to the web and downloads the program. This is not acceptabel for the project since I am not sure that a web connection is present. Anyone stumbled into this or has an earlier version to share?

Re: lingo-l unexpected selection of a text member
I recently ran into what is probably the same problem in a large project. You have some text hilighted in a text member, you click on the another application, click back in your Director program, the entire contents of the text member are highlighted. We spent a lot of time and tried everything we could think of, but we could not come up with a good work-around. Sorry.

Re: lingo-l blinking QTVR
Hey Mats: hehe, how stupid am I for not trying the QTVR on a blank movie? Welcome to my reality. I just uncovered a really stupid programming mistake where I had done something like this: formatedHeading=translateBoy(origText) formatedText=translateBoy(origHeading) and I couldn´t understand why suddenly all the headings and texts had swapped places in the movie... It DOES blink, even in a blank movie... :// the codec used is: CINEPAK (it is an old QTVR) can someone advice me a 'good' codec to use these days with standard QT6 install?? PS: it does blink even on Quicktime player 6 aha, comes as little of a surprise to me that it blinks even in QT6. Cinepak is not very good for QTVR. It isn´t very good for anything nowadays, actually. I would try the Photo JPEG codec first. That has good image quality and OK panning-performance, and is what I use when making QTVR:s. Sorry if the following makes you want to cry, but you will probably have to re-shoot the panorama (or re-stitch it if you have access to the original still images) to get good results. I wouldn´t think any codec could make a bad Cinepak encoding look very much better. It may perform better when panning though [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]).
