Re: lingo-l accessing realtime decibel levels of QT audio
I don't think you that there's an easy way to get the amplitude value for a quicktime sprite. I've checked Livestage, there is no corresponding QScript Property. But for sound members (internal, external, swa) AmplitudeXtra does what you want: http://www.marmalademedia.com.au/ valentin Charlie Fiskeaux II wrote: Does anybody know if it's possible to access the realtime decibel levels of the audio of a QuickTime sprite? I'd like to create a VU meter, and I know that QuickTime has one under Get Properties, so I'm curious if it's possible to access QT's built in VU meter. Or another option would be if there was a general way (via Xtra, maybe?) to access that data of all sounds in Director itself? I know there's an Xtra to read that data from sound input into the computer, but as far as I could tell, that Xtra didn't work for any kind of linked sound or video files. Ideas, anyone?

lingo-l postNetText and CGI
Hello! I would like to send a postNetText to a CGI script, the format to comunicate to the CGI is: http://www.myerver.com/cgi-bin/Script.cgi? write=path_to_file=text_to_write In other words I have to send to the CGI script to variable, a pathname and a text. I saw that I can use a property list too. How should I format the postNet Text command?? Thanks in advance for the help Teo [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 postNetText and CGI
Teo, It sounds like you need to send two different variables to the cgi script...a file path, and text. If you use postNetText, these values will be sent using the form POST method. In your example you showed, those variables are being sent with the GET method, meaning the variables are being passed through the url itself. Question 1: which method does the CGI expect its parameters to come from, POSTed form variable, or GET variables coming from the url? Question 2: in your example, you have the following pieces: http://url? varname1=varvalue1=varvalue2 You probably need to get rid of the space after the ? You probably also need to use two distinct variables so your cgi doesn't get confused, but it is difficult to say without knowing how it works...so it could look like this: http://url?varname1=varvalue1varname2=varvalue2 As for how to format the command, I think the director help files are the best place to figure out the details. ~Mathew Teo Mattiozzi Petralia wrote: Hello!

Re: lingo-l Resource Hacker
Maybe try taking the ' out of the name. Who knows, resource hacker may mess things up when there is one in there.

Re: lingo-l Resource Hacker
What I then end up with are 2 files resHacker is trying to be nice. Before it modifies your .exe it saves the original as a backup. One called Directors' Duties_original.exe (with the old Director MX icon) and one caller Directors' Duties.exe (with my new icon). The trouble is, this latter file does not work. Just to get a precise picture at this point: did you test the original file and it run molto bene? When I double-click the exe to try to run the program, I get the error message: Unable to load movie playlist. Does the .INI file exist? It must contain a section '[Movies]' with an entry 'Movie01=Pathname.dir'. Well, the trouble with MM error alerts is, they don't necessarily point to the problem involved. This alert seems so precise about what is the nature of the problem, only no one understands why this should be - contrary to the alert's text it is best known to raise its ugly head in situations where the applicationpath is longer then 127 Byte, (described like this on www.updatestage.com (quirks).) I ' ve seen it once in a situation where clearly length of pathname was not a possible problem. I rebuild the projector and it disappeared, mysteriously. Some days ago Rob Wingate posted on the very same error msg: (RE: lingo-l Movie playlist, 19.02.04) quote One of our clients saw this error just last week. I researched it and found it started appearing back in 2000. Back then, MACR's Jake Sapirstein said they'd look into it, but evidently it's still around. It apparently may also be caused by: * a conflict with RAMDoubler on Mac * user trying to run from a badly-replicated disc Anyway, add the following lines to your MyProjectorName.ini (the Otto.ini file): [Movies] Movie01=YourMainMovieName.dir That will fix it. /quote I did not test his method, just posting it as an example that this lists archives may contain many more valuable infos re: this topic. 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]).
