OT: [TIP] php debugging - msg window style (*.nix)
Pardon the OT. Since php is becoming a popular backend language for netlingo, I thought some here may appreciate the following. A two shell command method for debugging php as it executes. Output is directed to a fifo on the server which can be viewed like the msg window in a terminal window. http://putnamhill.net/codeshop/php/debug-php.html Happy Friday, All! -- Cole [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: Concatenating property list values (mavinson@ra.rockwell.com)
Hi Everyone,
Sorry about quoting the whole digest...i realized I forgot to delete the
rest after I sent.
Mike,
I've changed the item to line. Now I think I understand the difference.
Irv & Cath,
Thanks for your continuing help. My project works differently on
different computers. On my friend's, computer it displays some songs
correctly but not others. I did change from the email lingo, so that it
used my list names...i'm sorry if it seemed otherwise. It seems the ones
that are displayed correctly have some kind of character like "&" or "-"
in their id3 tag information.
--only stores the tag title
thisString = tempList[#tagTitle] & " - " & tempList[#tagArtist] & RETURN
No matter what method I use to store the information from the list, it
won't even store anything that appears after the first "&". It does the
same even if I do something like this:
thisString = tempList[#tagTitle] & "hi"
Put thisString
"Splish Splash"
Is there some kind of escape sequence needed or something related???
Thanks,
Mindy

Mindy,
The item[i] is generally used for 'chunking' through comma-delimited
lists. e.g. put "jazz,funk,blues".item[1] returns 'jazz' In your code,
if you would add: member("musicLibrary").item[i] =
member("musicLibrary") & & gmusiclib[i].tagArtist & ... you would see
results like: (member 2 of castLib 1)Bobby Darin - Splish Splash
,(member 2 of castLib 1)Dion - Runaround Sue
Although the 'item' keyword works on field & text cast members, you get
extra stuff (the fully qualified description of the 'item'). Try Irv's
approach ... it's full of 'best practices'.

that you are appending data to your text member, so you need to ...

OK, so I had three typos - I warned that it was Email Lingo. This works:

gmusicLib = [[#tagTitle: "Splish Splash", #tagArtist: "Bobby Darin",\
#tagAlbum: "The Bobby Darin Story", #tagYear: "1961", #tagGenre:\

-- Store the output in a string until you are finished
stringOut = ""
-- Find out how many items are in your list
nItems = count(gMusiclib)
repeat with i = 1 to nItems
-- create a tempory pointer to each property list
tempList = gMusiclib[i]
-- build up a single line
thisString = tempList[#tagTitle] & " - " & tempList[#tagArtist] & RETURN
-- add it to the full output string
put thisString after stringOut
-- alternatively: stringOut = stringOut & thisString (but the
above is faster)
end repeat
-- Finally put it into the field

Re: copyPixels and alpha channel
Hi Sébastien, I had to add two lines to get reasonable results: > >-- get the original alpha channel >alphaBuffer = imgDest.extractAlpha() imgDest.useAlpha = FALSE > > >-- copy the bitmap data >copyPixels(imgDest, imgSrc, rDest, rSrc) > >-- copy the alphachannel pixelmap >alphatoAdd = imgSrc.extractAlpha() >alphaBuffer.copyPixels(alphatoAdd, rDest, rSrc, [#ink:39]) > >-- apply the alpha changes >imgDest.setAlpha(alphaBuffer) imgDest.useAlpha = TRUE > > > end -- CopyPix32 handler Without those changes, the background had the right alpha, but with color taken from the top image. With these changes, it's much better, but any partially transparent pixels in imgSrc become white (the more transparent, the more white they become). So in the example I posted before (which I have reposted using your code), the drop shadow of the top text becomes white, instead of black. Many composites won't have large transparent sections in the top image, so it wouldn't always be a problem. I tried many variations on inks and masks with copypixels in my testing before writing the pixel by pixel method, including isolating the masks and using darken ink. None of them produced a proper composite. As you imply, the method to use depends on the desired results. Thanks!

Hi,
I think you are writing over each entry as it is made. Use 'line'
instead of 'item'.
Try
global gmusiclib
on fillmusic
member("musicLibrary").text=""
repeat with i = 1 to gmusicLib.count
member("musicLibrary").line[i] = gmusicLib[i].tagArtist & " - " &
gmusicLib[i].tagTitle & RETURN

end
for me this returns
Bobby Darin - Splish Splash
Dion - Runaround Sue

Hi everyone,
I'm having problems with the output of a value from a property list.
Well, actually I have a linear list and each index is a property list.
gmusicLib = [[#tagTitle: "Splish Splash", #tagArtist: "Bobby Darin",
#tagAlbum: "The Bobby Darin Story", #tagYear: "1961", #tagGenre:
"Oldies", #tagFilePath: "D:\My Music\old school\Bobby Darin - Splish

#tagAlbum: "Runaround Sue", #tagYear: "1961", #tagGenre: "Oldies",
#tagFilePath: "D:\My Music\old school\Buddy Holly - Runaround Sue.mp3"]]
That's just an example once the file info is loaded.
I'm trying to output some of the values in to a text field member using
this:
repeat with i = 1 to gmusicLib.count
member("musicLibrary").item[i] = gmusicLib[i].tagArtist & " - "
& gmusicLib[i].tagTitle & RETURN
end repeat
All that outputs is the artist name.
I found an example similar in Director 8.5 Studio that used apostrophes
inside the quotes, but I can't get that to work. I'm using MX, if that
makes a difference.
I'm just a student learning director, so any explanations would be
really great :)

Subject: Cursor property
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi Lingo Developers!
I've got a little problem. I wrote a simple cursor change behavior for a
vector sprite(2):
on mouseEnter
sprite(2).cursor = 260
end
on mouseDown
sprite(2).cursor = 290
end
on mouseLeave
sprite(2).cursor = 0
end
on mouseUp
sprite(2).cursor = 260
End
This works fine. But to apply this behavior to different sprite I need
to track down the sprite's number and to change it everytime, and create
lots of behaviors. I tried to do the following:
Property spriteNum
On beginSprite
currSprite = sprite(spriteNum).member
End
On mouseEnter
currSprite.cursor = 260
End
When I compile (close) the behavior, it yields an error saying that an
operator expected. I wonder what's the problem and how can I fix it
without creating bucnhes of behaviors.
Thanks in advance
Peter

Try this ..
on mouseDown
sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 290
end
on mouseLeave
sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 0
end
on mouseUp
sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 260
End
whats happening is the code is referencing the sprite you attach it to
so
sprite(me.spritenum) is what you need to use.
keep at it and try to read through a manual as much as you can, If you
don't
have one I have one for sale in England so let me know??

and it would even be better if you specify the reference :
on mouseDown me
sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 290
end
on mouseLeave me
sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 0
end
on mouseUp me
sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 260
end
cheers,

RE: Cursor property
Sorry, folks, but sprite(me.spriteNum).cursor as well as sprite(spriteNum).cursor doesn't want to work. That's because you are saying on mousedown, and not on mousedown me. Try sticking some "me"'s at the end of your handler's first lines.

RE: Cursor property
Sorry, folks, but sprite(me.spriteNum).cursor as well as sprite(spriteNum).cursor doesn't want to work. I've tried whatever I knew, but the compiler complains. Though this happens only when you manipulate the built in cursors. When you do the same action with the cursors in castLib (I mean cursor member interchange) it works just fine.

Re: Concatenating property list values
Mindy,
The item[i] is generally used for 'chunking' through comma-delimited lists.
e.g. put "jazz,funk,blues".item[1] returns 'jazz'
In your code, if you would add:
member("musicLibrary").item[i] = member("musicLibrary") & &
gmusiclib[i].tagArtist & ...
you would see results like:
(member 2 of castLib 1)Bobby Darin - Splish Splash
,(member 2 of castLib 1)Dion - Runaround Sue
Although the 'item' keyword works on field & text cast members, you get
extra stuff (the fully qualified description of the 'item').
Try Irv's approach ... it's full of 'best practices'.

Subject: Concatenating property list values
I'm trying to output some of the values in to a text field member using
this:
repeat with i = 1 to gmusicLib.count
member("musicLibrary").item[i] = gmusicLib[i].tagArtist & " - "
& gmusicLib[i].tagTitle & RETURN
end repeat
All that outputs is the artist name.

Re: copyPixels and alpha channel
Hi everyone My original post starting this thread stated that copyPixels() does not work when compositing _two_ images with alpha channels. I haven't followed this thread since the start, so I might be out of synchro, but FYI here comes a little movie script I used intensively when compositing the 'creatures' for the main games of http://synchrobeat.swatch.com/ on CopyPix32 (imgDest, imgSrc, rDest, rSrc) -- -- -- INPUTS : inputs are organised like the 4 first inputs of the -- Lingo copyPixels command. For speed reason, no test is done to -- test wether the src and dest images are 32 bits (to extract and -- set alpha channels). This test is up to you! -- -- imgDest : <#imageObject> destination image -- imgSrc : <#imageObject> source image -- rDest : <#rect> destination rect -- rSrc: <#rect> source rect -- -- OUTPUT : nothing, the imgDest is directly modified --- -- get the original alpha channel alphaBuffer = imgDest.extractAlpha() -- copy the bitmap data copyPixels(imgDest, imgSrc, rDest, rSrc) -- copy the alphachannel pixelmap alphatoAdd = imgSrc.extractAlpha() alphaBuffer.copyPixels(alphatoAdd, rDest, rSrc, [#ink:39]) -- apply the alpha changes imgDest.setAlpha(alphaBuffer) end -- CopyPix32 handler This might not be perfect, but it's quite fast (indeed here I don't do additional test on the bitdepths, and/or useAlpha, as I use it only when I want to composite 32bits-alphaEnabled image objects) and give satisfying results I was compositing *lots* of images taken from32 bits images extracted from swf members used as 'graphic libraries' (so the memory requirements for all the sprites image tables where quite large, but this enabled us to have a near-infinite creature range with minimal animation, without a long download time nor a dead-slow framerate due to swf sprites overlay) Does this helps? séb [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: Cursor property
Hi on mouseDown sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 290 end on mouseLeave sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 0 end on mouseUp sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 260 End whats happening is the code is referencing the sprite you attach it to so sprite(me.spritenum) is what you need to use. and it would even be better if you specify the reference : on mouseDown me sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 290 end on mouseLeave me sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 0 end on mouseUp me sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 260 end cheers, séb [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: Cursor property
Try this .. on mouseDown sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 290 end on mouseLeave sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 0 end on mouseUp sprite(me.spritenum).cursor = 260 End whats happening is the code is referencing the sprite you attach it to so sprite(me.spritenum) is what you need to use. keep at it and try to read through a manual as much as you can, If you don't have one I have one for sale in England so let me know??

Cursor property
Hi Lingo Developers! I've got a little problem. I wrote a simple cursor change behavior for a vector sprite(2): on mouseEnter sprite(2).cursor = 260 end on mouseDown sprite(2).cursor = 290 end on mouseLeave sprite(2).cursor = 0 end on mouseUp sprite(2).cursor = 260 End This works fine. But to apply this behavior to different sprite I need to track down the sprite's number and to change it everytime, and create lots of behaviors. I tried to do the following: Property spriteNum On beginSprite currSprite = sprite(spriteNum).member End On mouseEnter currSprite.cursor = 260 End When I compile (close) the behavior, it yields an error saying that an operator expected. I wonder what's the problem and how can I fix it without creating bucnhes of behaviors.
