lingo-l Modifying Accessibility group order beh
Hi all, I'm using the Accessiblilty group order to provide tab keyboard navigation between a couple of dialog buttons. I want to modify the behaviour so when it first starts up, the sprite with Tab order set to 1 _is not_ activated. I want no sprites to be set with keyboard focus first. I have tried commenting out these lines in the initialize handler of the Accessibility group beh, but that doesn't seem to work -- when I press TAB for the first time, the wrong sprite gets keyboard focus i.e. the one with Tab order set to 2. (these lines commented out) -- if pTabOrder = 1 then --tDataList = pDataList.duplicate() --tDataList.msg = SetIndex --tDataList.trigger.data.setIndex = 1 --me.sendControlEvent(tDataList) -- end if Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Evan.

Re: lingo-l Application crash OS 10.3.2
Hi Teo, I posted this to Direct-L earlier this year: Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2004 11:59:17 -0600 From: Daniel Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: a little bizarre: freezing on Panther Hi All, This morning, a small utility I've been running for years hung after launching. I opened it in Director to see what the problem was, and found that the playback head wasn't moving at all from the first frame (with no sprites or scripts) to the next frame. Director and projectors were all frozen. After restarting the computer (quitting Director didn't help), everything is back in order, but it is a little strange that only Director and projectors seemed to be affected. This might be something to keep in mind if OSX users report projects freezing on startup. OSX 10.3.2 Regards, Daniel On May 2, 2004, at 5:17 PM, Teo Mattiozzi Petralia wrote: Hi!

lingo-l Hybrid DVD
Can a DVD be burned the same way you burn a Hybrid CD-ROM? Mac executable, PC executables and shared assests? We need to share 3.5 gig of LARGE print art on Macs and PC. The interface is built and works on a normal hybrid CD-ROM. Now we are trying to create the HUGE hybrid. Any one done something like this and can give a little help? I'm using Toast to do the burn.

lingo-l Dynamic Flash Sprite
I think I'm missing something obvious here. Dir MX, Win XP Pro. I'm creating a Flash sprite at runtime, but it's crashing with handler not found in object when I issue a goToFrame command. The code is pretty straightforward: pAnimSprite.rect= member(animMemberName).rect pAnimSprite.member = member(animMemberName) pAnimSprite.loc = animLoc pAnimSprite.goToFrame(frameLabelName) Everything checks out in the debugger. The right sprite is getting loaded, it's going in the right place, and the right frame label is being called. pAnimSprite is a 0-pixel holder before getting assigned. The Flash cast member is #lockStep (there's a callback), #static, #Loop and #DTS are false. I've tested it in a movie with the Flash sprite on stage, rather than being dynamically assigned, and everything works as I would expect. Ideas on what else I need to do to kick it into gear?

Re: lingo-l Dynamic Flash Sprite
You might try calling the 'goToFrame' after an 'exitframe' cycle. The way you have it now the Flash sprite does not have a chance to initialize before you're giving it commands.

Re: lingo-l Hybrid DVD
Yes, it can. I do this with Toast 5 under OS X 10.2. Toast doesn;t care what size your hybrid disc is. Toast 5 doesn;t even call it a hybrid CD-ROM; it says hybrid disc. I put PC and Mac executables, shared data, and all the rest of it on my hybrid DVD-ROMs, and they work exactly as hybrid CD-ROMs do, showing only the right platform files on each platform.

It's a silly thing, but are you sure that you're passing strings to flash? Yep. I can see it in the debugger. Actually, the cast member name and the frame are the same [string] variable in my code.

Re: lingo-l Hybrid DVD
But aren't DVD-R data discs burned in a different format that CD-ROM data disc's? They could be, but I'd try it anyway. The docs for hdiutil imply that it may be possible. Yep.

As mentioned above, the correct filename extension will be added only if it isn't part of the provided name.

RE: lingo-l Hybrid DVD
He's probably referring to UDF, which I believe is the standardized data format for data DVDs. But ISO/Mac formats should work fine as well (on most computers), and you have to use them if you want a custom hybrid disc.

Yes, but that shouldn't make a difference. CD-ROM, Zip Disks, hard drives, network drives--they're all different formats. As long as Windows or Mac can recognize it as a disk, and the read the files, it shouldn't make a lot of difference where they reside. Of course there are different formats for DVD, the plus and dash. I think most DVD writers and readers now can do both. Dual-layer writeable DVD's are coming, too, with 9 GB of storage.

RE: lingo-l Black flashes in MX2004
Hi! I have just translated a large project from MX into MX2004. It has a number of dirs which go from one to the other, and casts which are shared. The casts are being switched depending on what language is being used. It works well in authoring, but in the projector, there is a lengthy black flash between some of the dirs. I've seen this some times when there is a blank frame at the end or beginning of a movie, or you are manipulating a lot of assets in a prepareMovie or beginSprite handler. Do you have a bitmap that you can be sure is on stage when you call go to movie, and is on stage in the first frame of the next movie?

The casts are being switched depending on what language is being used. It works well in authoring, but in the projector, there is a lengthy black flash between some of the dirs. It is only some of them, and they can change. I stripped one down to nothing, and it still flashed. I started again from nothing, and it was fine for a while, but now it is flashing again. Sometimes it looks like a black flash with a white horizontal line accross it. Has anyone seen this? Any ideas of what could be going wrong here, or how I can fix it? I have spent quite abit of time rebuilding, saving and compressing, have tried taking out the cast switching scripts, switching Flash files. The only thing which made a difference was saving and compacting, which fixed one of the movies, possibly temporarily.
