RE: lingo-l Buddy API

2004-09-20 Thread Tim Welford
I have 3 17 monitors running 1280x1024, timeline, stage and scripts
basically, I became so dependant on this layout that I had to replicate
the system in my office at home. Personally, over the last 2 years, I
think I have probably saved my self 2 or 3 man days and a case of RSI
just by not constantly moving floating windows around

 I wonder what's your screen res?

For working in Director? The more the better.  ;-) Personally, I'm
reasonably happy with my two LCD displays at their native resolutions. 
1920x1200 + 1440x900 = 3.6m pixels.

The less hiding and unhiding of panels, the more I like it. Also, OSX
does not offer the sliding interface groups (whatever they are called)
that the Windows version does.

   Hi guys
   
   I've just started porting a quite large app done in 
   Dir 8.5 (Win only) and I've encountered an ugly 
   one...need advice!
   
   The app I'm working on has quite a few MIAWs 
   floating about and poping-up as toolboxes, 
   controls, documents etc. What I have noticed is 
   that MX2004 will show in the Windows taskbar a 
   button for every MIAW that gets created, like you 
   have with multiple Word documents. The mad thing is 
   that the only time when the MIAW doesn't show in 
   the taskbar as a separate application/document is 
   when it's set to Tool with the title bar visible 
   !? Now...that would be fine if I wanted all the 
   miaws to be Tools, but I need sometimes a miaw with 
   a mask or without the Toolbar and then it simply 
   gets silly...correct me if I'm wrong but the mask 
   works only on Document types without the Title bar!
   
   To my shock I've ended with 20 buttons in my 
   taskbar like I had 20 apps open at the same time 
   and even the appminimize command doesn't 
   work...it will minimize the main stage but the 
   other miaws stay there!?
   
   Am I missing something? How on earth do you have 
   multiple MIAWs but only the Projector showing in 
   the Windows taskbar?
   
   Cheers

lingo-l Flash sprite and MIAW no good?

2004-09-20 Thread Baker, Geoff
Director MX
Win 2000

Issue: a Flash button bar published as Flash 5 or 6 .swf fails to work in an
MIAW only. The same button bar when placed on the stage works. This problem
is in projector mode only. The buttons don't get a mouseenter, leave, down,
up nada.

I've tried a bare bones movie (both Flash and Director). I've replaced the
projector Xtras with the entire MX Xtra folder thinking I was missing or had
an outdated Xtra.

I've tried making the Flash sprite DTS. It's set to loop. It's not scaled in
any way. Copy ink. The MIAW is not modal, windowType = 4.

Flash Asset Xtra 9.0.2.436
Flash Agent Xtra 9.0.0.383
Flash Options Xtra 9.0.0.383

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
