Are MX OS9 Projectors Carbonised?

2002-12-01 Thread Daniel Robertson
Hi,
	I'm just wondering if anyone knows the exact details of how Mac projectors 
are created? Are all Mac projectors Carbonised, thus meaning they can run 
on MacOS 8.6+ (with CarbonLib) and OSX, or does one have to create separate 
OS9 and OSX projectors?
	Also what happens with Xtras ie. will *all* third-party xtras need to be 
recompiled (if not partially rewritten) to work with MX?
Thanks,
Daniel

#getPropRef

2002-08-19 Thread Daniel Robertson

Hi all,
Has anyone ever seen this error message:

Handler not found in object:
#getPropRef

I get this error in Shockwave (have been unable to repro in authoring 
environment) in a Text Editing tool I've been developing. It usually occurs 
when I make a selection using the cursor keys on the keyboard and then 
attempt to change the selected text eg:

newColor = rgb(a,b,c)
sprite(spriteNum).member.char[me.pLastSelection[1]+1..me.pLastSelection[2]].color 
= newColor


getPropRef is obviously an internal Director thing, but I can't for the 
life of me work out what's triggering the error - I've checked the 
selection and it is valid, as is the colour. When I select text with the 
mouse there is never a problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Daniel

Text Editing Functions

2002-05-14 Thread Daniel Robertson

Howdy,
Trying to write a Shockwave-based text editor, so that users can enter 
rich text and submit it, rather than entering unformatted text into a 
standard web form textarea.

Has anyone got any hints for doing the following:
- getting a list of installed fonts (without using an Xtra)
- pasting in styled text from eg. Word. Essentially, is there a way to 
determine the type of data on the clipboard? If I new I had rtf in the 
clipboard, I could set the RTF of the member...

Many Thanks,
Daniel

MUI Xtra and MacOs

I reported this bug when I was testing Director 8. Have you by any chance 
got the Script for instantiating the MUI in an external cast (or a cast 
other than the Internal cast)?
I seem to recall that this error occurs if the script is in an external 
cast. I worked around the problem by copying the script to the internal 
cast of every movie of my project. Not a neat workaround, but it does work.
Cheers,
Daniel
