Re: lingo-l Hybrid DVD
Is HFS a 2 gig limit on hybrid burns? Do you know? Quite likely. Try HFS+. I could be wrong, but I think toast will only create HFS hybrids.

RE: lingo-l Dynamic Flash Sprite
Next question--is there a way to get Flash to call an object in the Director movie? I have a navigation manager object, and it would be nice to have it get the callback. The Flash movie has this: getURL(lingo:flashAnimDone); The only way I can figure to get the flashAnimDone call to the object is to catch it in a movie-level handler or a behavior attached to the sprite. Neither is particularly onerous, but it would be nice if I could call the object directly. Alternatively, the object can check up on the flash sprite (which seems logical, if it's assigning the sprite in the first place) via a timeout object and a check on sprite.playing. Then you don't need to add code to every Flash animation that you might use. -Kurt [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 Navigate the flashing cursor
Slava Paperno Look at the selection property of the text member. Irv Kalb I think you can do this by setting the selStart and the selEnd to the same value. Thanks folks for the input. Actually I found a different workaround. My sample was based on the Director-online article: http://www.director-online.com/buildArticle.php?id=209 (issue with social security number). The snip of code filters first 3 chars and sticks the dash. Here I was stumbled with how to manipulate the flashing cursor so that to place it after the dash. I changed the sample a bit (namely broke it up into 3 fields) and case statemented it for input. It turned out, that if you set a field to non editable it'll automatically tab to next one alike (if any). That did my trick. If you are interested in what I was doing, here is the source (Social section): http://www.peb965.cv.ua/list_questions/dir/extra_spaces.dir Cheers peb965 [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 Hybrid DVD
My coworker may have an older version of toast. He was recently having trouble making an HFS+ hybrid. The normal old way to make hybrid discs in Toast was to have a Mac volume and a PC folder. I'm pretty sure that the Mac volume can be HFS+. Trying to make a hybrid disc with old Toast from a Mac folder and a PC folder would be quite hard.

Re: lingo-l Hybrid DVD
Burning ROM can create hybrid discs on a PC if a Mac-formatted volume is attached to your PC. Burning ROM is the most advanced DVD-creation app that I know of. I've never used it with a Mac volume, though. It may be worth a call to their tech support.

RE: lingo-l anyone using D8 on XP?
Mike, is anyone using Director 8 on WinXP? I just ordered a laptop and it comes with XP, but Macromedia's site says only 8.5 and up are XP-compatible (http://www.macromedia.com/support/general/ts/documents/win_xp.htm). Anyone know for sure? I have no prob blowing away XP and putting on Win2K, but if I don't have to... A number of issues appeared in Director with the release of Windows XP, some of which might be troublesome. The biggest issues IIRC surrounded path and file names, and getting those munged (try to import a file with a path that's too long - and I mean too long by the standards of the old routine we were calling - and various problems would ensue). I don't believe there's a specific issue list that I can easily refer to, but suffice it to say that we only support version 8.5.1 and newer on Win XP, versions 8.5.0 and earlier are not officially supported. I do believe that in general you can launch and use Director, it's just that you'll suffer from many smaller issues as opposed to a few large catastrophic ones. Again though, this is all if memory serves me right, maybe others can chime in with practical user experience under such a configuration.

lingo-l Black flashes in MX2004- solved
Well I finally found out what was causing the Flash- or at least it appears to be fixed. In publish settings choosing Lock Stage Size to Movies size Makes the problem go away. The movies were all the same size anyway but Cath At 11:27 a.m. 4/05/2004 +1200, you wrote: Hi! The movies share a cast of artwork. There are 2 different backgrounds, which are on stage at start and end of each movie. In some cases there is a problem when the background changes, in some cases it is the same background. I have taken out all the prepareMovie scripts - which didn't make a difference. All the movies share a startmovie script, which is in a shared cast. I have tried taking out the startmovie script - it also didn't help. It's odd, because it has worked in the last 4 versions of Director, and it still works in Authoring.
