lingo-l Network Security - get Lingo to authenticate.

2004-06-08 Thread Tim Welford
Hi,

I have an application that parses an xml file and acts on the content.  No problem 
here.  The XML is made by another application (The content, format and location are 
not under our control) the XML file is located on another computer, and is updated in 
read time by the 3rd party program.

Although the XML file needs to be read by the director program, we don't want to give 
users of the program direct access to the network folder containing the XML file and 
all the other things it contains, as this creates a small security issue.  Currently 
the projector accesses the XML via importFileInto with a UNC path name.

So we would like to put network folder sharing permissions on this folder, so it can 
only be accessed with a certain username and password.  Does anybody know of a method 
by which we can pass the username and password from director when we are trying to 
access the XML file, or can anybody think of another solution that may achieve the 
same affect.

Many thanks

Tim

RE: lingo-l database lingo vs. xtra

2004-06-08 Thread Pedja Guzvica
I would definitely go for a Lingo solution. 

People don't realise that Director itself is effectively a Database
system, the Cast is a data container and as I'm concerned ...a bloody
fast one.

Making a simple database engine in Lingo is not too difficult and it's a
lovely challenge. Just abuse Directors fast access to cast members
data...just make sure to break things down as much as you can.

With that number of records, I would surely do it with lingo. I have
made several data banks with lingo and have been very happy with it. You
will have to write all the code on your own, so V12 may be much better
for you (it has a behavior library). Valentina is overkill (steeper
learning curve) unless you are going to do more and more data banks in
the future. Also, I'm not sure if V12 supports images in data containers
but Valentina does.

There is also an ARCA xtra or something.

lingo-l filename problem

2004-06-08 Thread Hermann Brandi
Hello list!

I'm the one with the problem of the 2600 images for a catalog. What I did
was to link one image to a file called image.jpg. The catalog displays a
picture of the product and a description of it from a V12 data base. My
problem is that when I make the swapping image the image doesn't remain
there but it displays it for less than a second and returns to the original
one. I made this script:

if dosIsFileExist(productImage) then
  member(3).filename = productImage
else
  member(3).filename = noImage
end if

I don't know if the loop is making the change. With the images inside the
cast I didn't have this problem when swapping. Can you please explain me
what is going on? I hope you can help me.

Regards,

Hermann Brandi

RE: lingo-l database lingo vs. xtra

2004-06-08 Thread Chuck Neal
I would use an Xtra.  Director can search the data fairly efficiently but
with extreme limits.  If you need to do things like multi table searches or
have a LOT of records it can bog lingo down.  The ones I use the most are...

ADO - (I market this so just my disclaimer that I have a vested interest in
this one). Works great with standard Databases like Access, etc.  Great if
the client needs to use an existing DB and keep it in its native format.  -
PC only
Arca - Tabuleiro's Arca is really nice.  Been using it for a few months and
its speed is great, easy to use and takes standard SQL.  Inexpensive and
cross platform.
V12 - Also a good choice and is cross platform. My only negative is the lack
of multi table joins.
Valentina - Fast and effective.  Also cross platform.  There is good support
and a pretty active group of users.  One added bonus for Valentina is that
it also comes in flavors for other languages like real basic, etc.

I have my own lingo database objects as well but generally I find that
they have too many limitations and the time to develop a good one is more
than the cost of a good DB Xtra.  Once you have the Xtra it's a LOT easier
to just use it from then on out.  Unless price is a huge issue on this I
would recommend the Xtra.

the database will be updated by only 1 (or maybe 2) people ever. it will
contain 1200-1500  entries each entry will contain firstname, lastname,
storenumber, 
images(anywhere from 0-5), other misc textbased fields


The client *really* only wants the application to keep track of these 
images (he takes them throughout the year).
The client will use the data at the end of the year to make a yearbook 
of images/quotes, etc...


Anyway, does anybody have any good reasons that I should just create it 
with Lingo? or should I create it with V12 or one of the others?

Yes, there is no single extra (that I am aware of) that works for both 
platforms. You should separate your xtras and either use two folders to 
hold os9 and osx projects, or use a bundle solution...which is more 
elegant IMO.

Lots of posts on this topic in the archives here and on direct-l that

Re: lingo-l database lingo vs. xtra

And if you want your Lingo-based database to run faster, check out 
an article I wrote for DOUG many years ago at:

http://www.director-online.com/buildArticle.php?id=442
This describes a technique I use to store data in cast members as 
Lingo routines.  I don't know if the timing is still accurate, but 
when I testing this approach against storing data as just text or 
field members, my approach was about seven times as fast.

lingo-l Swapping images problem

2004-06-08 Thread Hermann Brandi
Hello again!

I'm trying to understand why my swapping image catalog doesn't work. I'm
making a photo catalog with 2600 images. I tried to import them to an
external cast and I couldn't because it was to large and it wouldn't fit
inside the CD. I tried to import one linked image an then use a script to
change the cast member as I would on a regular swapping image. All this is
done via Movie Script. My problem is that when the image swaps returns to
the original one almost immediately. Why is happening this? I'm using this
script as part of the larger one:

if dosIsFileExist(productImage) then
  member(3).filename = productImage
else
  member(3).filename = noImage
end if

I hope you can help me to clarify this because this is the first time that
I'm trying to change a linked file.

Best regards,

Hermann Brandi

This is the case. But you have to use Exit, to stop the current behaviour  
from continuing. The behaviour is probably on another sprite so continuing  
it will set the focus back onto it.

Re: lingo-l Swapping images problem

2004-06-08 Thread Luiz Gustavo Castelan Póvoas
Try making a cast for every 100 images
use a script to import them into several diferent casts.

HB Hello again!

HB I'm trying to understand why my swapping image catalog doesn't work. I'm
HB making a photo catalog with 2600 images. I tried to import them to an
HB external cast and I couldn't because it was to large and it wouldn't fit
HB inside the CD. I tried to import one linked image an then use a script to
HB change the cast member as I would on a regular swapping image. All this is
HB done via Movie Script. My problem is that when the image swaps returns to
HB the original one almost immediately. Why is happening this? I'm using this
HB script as part of the larger one:

HB if dosIsFileExist(productImage) then
HB   member(3).filename = productImage
HB else
HB   member(3).filename = noImage
HB end if

HB I hope you can help me to clarify this because this is the first time that
HB I'm trying to change a linked file.

HB Best regards,

HB Hermann Brandi

É do tipo da coisa: tens que engolir do jeito que é



RP Hi list,

RP There's a way to install the shockwave director in a transparent way to the
RP user. Without the prompt, warnings etc?


RP Thank's
