Pointers, pointers...anyone? You could create a simple file spec. For instance, first 4 bytes of the storage file contain the number of files contained. Call it fileCount. Then the next fileCount * 4 bytes stretch contains the length of each file in 4 byte chunks. Then the data starts. There is also some sample code that shows how to store binary files inside a vList container here. It uses BinIO to read the files, but now vList has its own read and writeBinary functions built in.

Temporarily stick the projector in the same folder as Director authoring so it can use those xtras. That will at least narrow down whether it is caused by one missing xtra or another.

It sounds like something is wrong with the installation. There are different serial numbers for 64 (basic) and 128 (full) so you should use the one you purchased that goes with your serial number, but never both at once. You should get no errors with only one loaded, provided the correct version of the corresponding authoring xtra is loaded as well. I would: - quit director - remove everything with "vlist" in it from the xtras folder - restart Director and do showxlib in the message window to make sure it's gone - put vlist author and one of the vlist runtimes back in - restart director If that doesn't fix it, and it only happens with one movie, another possibility is a corrupt asset cast member. --- Gretchen Macdowall www.updatestage.com [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]).

Re: Weird error code
> Turns out I've got something newer than on the website (which has 1.6.1) Sorry about that. There was a mistake on the product page, which still said 1.6.1. The version on the downloads page is correct - 1.6.9. Basic and Full have 2 different version #'s in each release to make autodownloading work correctly in a case where Basic is already present and you want Full to replace it. Since Basic is what's available to download, the version should show 1.6.8 for the release version that you can download. > so hopefully this will be something that will be fixed in the next > rev...there's really no way of tracking what's happening; if anything it > almost (and I mean 'ALMOST') seems like registering vlist takes a little > while to go through, so if you then create a vlist reference to a file, > if > it hasn't 'settled' it throws the error. You can't go past register until it finishes, so I don't think that's it. And the fix for the prob Irv mentions is in 1.6.9/8. As you know, there are 2 parts to vList, the authoring xtra and the runtime. You need both authoring and runtime in the authoring environment. Sometimes weird MOA errors pop up if there is a mismatch btwn the authoring and runtime versions. Current release: vList Basic: 1.6.8 vList Full: 1.6.9 vList Author: 1.6.9 Other possibilities would be having both basic and full in the same xtras folder or the osx version on classic or vice versa. There are so many files with the same names that it's not hard for this to happen. Due to the way shockwave and projector-making works, the classic and osx files have to have the same name. There are dev releases beyond 1.6.9. If you are using one of them, please contact me offlist. --- Gretchen Macdowall www.updatestage.com [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]).

fileIO writeString()
> Unless the Lingo documentation explicitly says differently, all Lingo > calls are "synchronous" - which means that your program waits there > until the operation complete. This sometimes leads people to make the same assumption about 3rd party xtras. But if an xtra is making calls in to the system API, the next line of Lingo can execute even if the previous xtra call is not done. Lingo has no way of knowing if the call into the system has completed unless the xtra decides to stall, waiting for the operation to complete. There are times, such as when launching apps or moving windows around where you would want to allow Director to continue, regardless of whether the call had finished its work. --- Gretchen Macdowall www.updatestage.com [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]).

Re: Vlist question
>Just wondering - vList says it supports saving of an instance (ie 'obj =
>new(script "parent")) but it doesn1t' support saving a script to a vlist -
>so how exactly does an instance object get saved with vlist? Can it be
>instantiated again from a vlist?
You can save a script via member("somescript").media. When you save an
instance, as Christoffer guessed, you save a reference to the parent
script and the values of instance property variables. The parent script
has to exist when you retrieve the instances. But try this:
Original movie
-- parent script "parent"
property myProp
on new me,int
myProp = int
return me
end
on whatsYourProp me
return myProp
end
---
Store the instances in one vList file and the parent script in another:
a = new(script "parent",8)
b = new(script "parent",10)
scr = member("parent").media
scrname = "parent"
inst = new(xtra "vlist","saveObjects.lst")
inst.write(list(a,b))
inst = new(xtra "vlist","saveParentScript.lst")
inst.write(list(scr,scrname))
---
Quit Director, restart, and open a brand new movie. Now read in the
vlist files, recreate the parent script first, and then read your instances
back in, with their saved property states:
inst = new(xtra "vlist","saveParentScript.lst")
var = inst.read()
scr = var[1]
scrname = var[2]
-- recreate parent script
par = new(#script)
par.media = scr
par.name = scrname
inst = new(xtra "vlist","saveObjects.lst")
var = inst.read()
-- retrieve the saved instances
a = var[1]
b = var[2]
put a.whatsYourProp()
-- 8
put b.whatsYourProp()
-- 10

[ANN] ShockFiler FTP Xtra 1.2.2 released
ShockFiler Xtra release 1.2.2 is now available. Version 1.2.2 contains the following new features: - The ability to use the DSWMEDIA folder in Shockwave to send or get a file via FTP and to save media from the Shockwave movie to the local drive. Use of the DSWMEDIA folder does not require prompting the user with a save dialog. - The ability, when saving or sending a local file, to use relative paths and create folders along the path that don't exist ShockFiler Xtra is a cross-platform Xtra that saves media changed by the user at runtime. ShockFiler Xtra exports text, image, sound members and vList Xtra members to external files saved on an FTP server or to the user's local drive. ShockFiler can also send and receive external files via FTP, get file listings from the server, and create directories on the server.ShockFiler is Shockwave-safe and autodownloadable, and also works in authoring and projectors. Links to the demo version and doc are here: http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/shockfiler.html A ShockFiler Xtra license is $199.00 and includes all 3 platforms (Win, Mac Classic and Mac OSX) The version 1.2.2 upgrade is free for registered users.

Some versions ago, like D3? or 4, Director had a hierarchy of paths it would look for LINGO.INI in. Some of them were system paths. So if your projector didn't have a LINGO.INI file, and some other Director projector installed one at the system level, your projector could end up loading their LINGO.INI file. The fix was to have your own next to the projector because that's where Director looked first. I don't think current versions of Director do the system searching any more, but I am guessing that was Bruce's reason for recommending it. Gretchen Macdowall updateStage, inc.
