I've used V-12 many times before and like it alot. This project is already created and it uses EasyDatabase, which is also an Xtra. I'm unfamiliar with its 50 some functions, so I'm trying to decide if its cost effective to learn EB or rip out all the dB code and install V-12. It would be like redoing the program and I think it would be cost prohibitive for the client. So I'm trying to see if anyone has any words of advice on EB.

Database query
Anyone ever use EasyDatabase? Is it any good? Should I get rid of it and use V-12? Any and ALL comments would be appreciated it. I have to decide if I want to take on a complex job using it or replace it. Thanks in advance, John === John R.

The PDF Xtra lets you check for both:
Full blown Acrobat = isAcroBatPresent("acrobat")
or
Just the Acrobat Reader = isAcroBatPresent("reader")
These return TRUE or FALSE.

I've had problems with embedded fonts when they where NOT in the internal cast. I insert the desired font into the internal cast and get the usual (i.e. Arial *), then apply that font to my text casts and problem gone.

The problem is that after you continously play the cd it sucks > up your system memory. If you are using a lot of audio files, this can cause problems. They do not unload from memory on their own, in fact in many cases if you issue a unload command you will see that they are STILL in memory. I usually keep track of the names of the audio files that I execute/puppet and when I'm done with them, I explicitly do a unLoadMember "myaudiofilename".

Well what do you know!!! The same DAMN thing. :( I guess I'll have to talk to the people who created the QTVRs. Just in case they don't know what they did, I hope someone knows a way to override that rotation. Thanx and this time I only got ONE post. :) JRS === John R.

Do you possibly have that situation? I created a BRAND NEW movie. Linked to the QTVR, layed it on the stage with ONLY a go to the frame script in the frame. Ran the movie and when I enter that frame the QTVR is rotating. I click on the QTVR, it stops and works correctly from then on. ? That's why I stumped.

QTVR - static vs. motion (One more time )
I didn't see this come up on the list when I posted it, so I'm trying it one more time. I hope someone has an idea. === Well I can't seem to find the solution to this one. I enter a frame and sit there with a QTVR castmember present. As I enter the frame the image is already rotating. As soon as I click on the QTVR it stops rotating and functions like a QTVR should. My question is, I can't seem how to enter the frame with the QTVR stopped. I don't want it to move until the user clicks on it. I've gone through all the commands associated with QTVR sprites, but no luck. I want something like sprite(mySprite).movierate = 0 or to that equivalent. Nothing in the properties will let me set it to stopped or paused, as far as I can see. I guess I'm looking in the wrong place or approaching this incorrectly. :( Any suggestions, before I put a thumbtack in the screen to stop the rotation. (kidding of course ... I'm NOT that crazy, YET!! ;) Thanx in advance, JRS === John R.
