Re: RE: on stopMovie problem in projector
Hi Alex Well, smack an old man up side the head and tell him to wake up :-) I knew that damn it. I remember reading a post by Tom explaining such just recently. So why did I use “on stopMovie,” just to show my ignorance I guess. :-[ I set exitLock to true and changed “on stopMovie” to “on closeRequest” and all works as intended in projector mode also. Thanks for waking me up Alex, Lee C Alex da Franca wrote: At 1:08 Uhr -0400 14.09.2004, KLGC Studio wrote: on stopMovie If (NOT DialogL.dialogSvd) AND (DialogL.targetSrc <> #unk) then reply = ShowAlert(1) if reply then SaveDialog() end if end if end stopMovie I think you can't 'stop' the stopmovie event in that way. the propcess of stopping the movie is already too far at this point. the 'normal' way of doing a 'do you want to save' dialog is to set the exitlock to true and catch the new (many thanks to the *lazy* engeneers ;-) 'on closerequest' event to get the click on the closebutton in the titlebar. from there you can do whatever you want a 'halt' the movie as soon as you're done.

Best place to store a cross-platform INI file
Hi List The subject line says it all really! I'm going to be setting an INI file using BuddyAPI for my cross-platform project. Where would the best place for this INI file be? Usually I'd put them into the OS folder but I don't want to start running into cross-platform and user restriction issues. Any ideas?

you may want to lokk into the baSysFolder command of buddyApi.
e.g. baSysFolder("prefs") is a good place to store a settings file

Re: Best place to store a cross-platform INI file
Alex:
Already got the baSysFolder route covered, just working out which folder to
use.
> baSysFolder("prefs") is a good place to store a settings file
So that would return the "Windows" folder on Windows and the "Preferences"
folder on the Mac. Will there be any user account restrictions writing to
the Preferences folder?
Thanks

can't speak for the win platform, but for the mac
platform you get the current users preferences
folder with write permissions. (which is the
purpose of the prefs folder to provide a place,
where applications can savely store preferences .
hence the name ;-)

Re: Projector problem
You might try Xtras/Update Movies on the original movies, then open and save them. IIRC, that was what you had to do to get from Dir 7 files to Dir 8. I recall that with really old versions on the PC you had to open it in Director 7 and save it first. Then open in a more recent version. I'm not sure what the cut off version was. could be 4 or 5...

Re: Case-sensitive symbol quirk
Director internally keeps a list of symbols, and it respects the case of the first use of a given symbol. If you're not getting your choice of case, then somewhere internal in Director that symbol is in use, and it's capitalized. - Tab At 03:00 PM 9/13/04, Ross Clutterbuck wrote: Hi List Can anybody shed some light on to this for me? I'm trying to set a variable to #dsl but Director is insisting on using #DSL, but all other symbols I assign (#enet, #internal, #subnext, etc) all remain as-written. This isn't too much of an issue, but the cue points I have set up inside my MPEG Advance Xtra 1.5 member all use the lowercase "dsl" and they are case-sensitive, so cue points generated using my variable (containing Director's insistant #DSL) is throwing up errors because the cue points can't be found. I've renamed all affected cue points to uppercase so it's not been a problem, but has anybody seen this case switching when using symbols before?

problems with PDF_Xtra
People, i´m experiencing problems when i´m using the PDF Xtra. The problem is kind of weird. When i create a projector on the authoring machin, from the hard disk it runs smoothly, no problem. when i make a CD from this porjector, obviously including all Xtras, especially PDF Xta, i get a -1000 error that says Acrobat cannot find ActiveX control, but the problem does not arise when i run the exact same app from the hard disk. Do i have to put some Reader files on the CD, including a Reader on the CD would help me get rid of this error? On some test machines i tried it, it gets another error: Could not find Adobe Acrobat. Has anyone experienced this kind of problem before? I´m using Dir MX 2004 and PDF Xtra ver 2.2 Thanks Diego Landro [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]).
