Re: lingo-l (OT) Mac: move up a folder
You want to do that in Lingo? I didn´t think it mattered what you write nowadays. It works in authoring mode on Dir MX on the mac for me whatever I use. To avoid potential problems, I always use ../ in Director for both platforms. It works without problems IME. The @, the applicationPath, the moviePath and all that is another story. Hi All, Given that ..\ will navigate up one directory from the current one on Windows, what is the Mac equivalent? Is it as simple as ..:? And is it the same for = OS9 and OSX?

RE: lingo-l BUDDY API BUG -- NOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Ha! Yes, I realize that was a ridiculous typo on my part. My bad. Wicked bad. However, there's still an issue with baCopyXFileProgress not being able to get at items more than 5 levels deep.

RE: lingo-l MUI OSX
Dean, Any help would be appreciated. There are a few things of note in the MUI code you posted: on dotMUI me The fact that 'dotMUI' from your MUI BIRTH CALLBACK ROUTINES has 'me' after the handler name indicates that this code may reside in a behavior or parent script. To work properly, MUI callback handlers need to reside in movie scripts. gMuiLoginProps.modal= FALSE I can't really think of a situation where a 'login' dialog box should be non-modal. You might avoid the problem altogether if gMuiLoginProps.modal = TRUE, using Run() instead of WindowOperation(). case( widgeName ) of Close MUI: WindowOperation (gMuiLoginObject, #hide) end case If you're having trouble getting the button or closebox to cause the dialog to vanish, replace the 2nd line with this: gMuiLoginObject.WindowOperation(#hide) gMuiLoginObject.Stop(FALSE) gMuiLoginObject = VOID You'd also want to trap the callback handler's #itemClicked event to store whatever username the user enters. Finally, and most importantly, for a login dialog, I'd suggest you use BudAPI's baLogin() instead of MUI: strUserName = baPrompt(Login to the VOTH Music Vault, User Name, EMPTY, 0,-2,-2) It accomplishes everything you're doing with MUI in a single line, plus its 4th 'flags' parameter makes it much more configurable.

RE: lingo-l BUDDY API BUG -- NOOOOOOOOOOO!!
This may or not be related, but I have noticed that sometimes Buddy API returns 0 for baFileExists() even when its there. Have not narrowed down why yet (path length, folder depth, etc) but it may be related if the Xtra uses the same function internally to validate files. -Chuck -- Chuck Neal CEO, MediaMacros, Inc.

lingo-l BuddyAPI: baLogIn() flags
Before I bother Gary, I just want to check if someone has used Buddy's baLogIn() function yet. I may have missed something obvious. I can't get one of the flags to work as described in the Help. From the Help file: - Five flags are currently defined: 1 only allow numbers to be entered 2 use * to mask the password input 4 Don't allow spaces to be entered 8 Do not allow blank user name 16 Do not allow blank password --- Flag 1 doesn't work, I can still enter non-numerical characters. All other flags, and combination of flags seem to work. Flag 6 (2+4) for example, will mask password filter spaces. I wanted to check if flag 1 allowed only numbers for both fields or just the password field. Does this sound familiar at all? [Tested in DMX DMX2004, WinXP Pro.

Re: lingo-l (OT) Mac: move up a folder
You want to do that in Lingo? I'm wanting to construct a full path to feed to FileXtra4 (which doesn't support '@' and variants), but having given it some more thought all I need to do is drop a directory when re-constructing the path at run time thus by-passing any need for ..\ or whatever.
