I have done so successfully with Dir 7.02, but have not tested the
technique since.  The trick was that the dxr file had to be set to
read-only.  For testing in authoring, I would have the main stage movie
use Buddy API to set the MIAW dir file to read-only during its
initialization routine, and then set it back to normal again during its
cleanup routine when getting ready to halt.

Re: lingo-l Screenshot of 3D member

another movie (e.g. call it screenshot) the exact size you want the 
screengrab to be and place the 3D member on the stage. Put in a frame 
script to loop on the frame. When you want a screenshot, create (but don't

I figured out that it had something to do with the hardware renderer. If
Director decides to use the software renderer, then switching off DTS at
runtime fails to 100 %.
If Director uses DirectX, it may or may not work. It works more often with
DirectX5_2 than with DirectX7_0.
If tested with OpenGL once and it didn't work either.
I have also tried to extend the time between switching to non-DTS and

lingo-l OSX problem

2003-12-10 Thread Martin Pallett
Hi,

a friend of mine has put together a demo in Director Windows, and to make 
it cross platform without a mac projector has decided to launch a browser 
and show the piece as Shockwave. All works well on the windows side, but in 
OSX there are a couple of problems, and I have been away from Macs for a 
couple of years and have no experience of OSX.

The first (minor) problem is that double clicking the .htm file doesn't 
launch a browser. I have suggested renaming the file to .html, but don't 
know if that will help. The other more serious problem is that after 
launching a browser and loading the .htm file from the CD, quicktime videos 
are not seen from the dcr, although they are in the same dswmedia folder as 
the dcr. If the whole folder is copied to the users desktop then everything 
works fine.

Hi Rodrigo,

For moving a character around in a tile-based environment, search for 
resources on pathfinding or a* searches. There are many theoretical 
approaches for what the cs people call search trees or shortest-path 
algorithms, but a* is guaranteed to find a solution with the drawback that 
it takes longer than more approximation-based approaches. I know I did a 
bunch of research on this a couple years ago and ended up using the 
resources at gamasutra.com quite extensively, although now you may be able 
to find more director examples. I know grant skinner has some good 
actionscript code at gskinner.com, but it isn't completely accurate but 
the tradeoff is that it is very fast...may be easy enough to adapt to 
lingo. On the other hand, lingo may be fast enough to pull off a* without 
any issues - smaller 'rooms' will help. The smaller the number of tiles to 
search, the faster the path can be computed. Blocked terrain can be 
achieved by marking various instances of tiles as impassable, or having a 
very high movement cost, therefore coercing your avatar to walk around it.

That's what I did - your scripts are well commented and it was quite easy

Also, by the time you downloaded, did the line drawing demo work 
continuously, drawing a line to the cursor as long as the mouse was

posted an update within about 15 minutes of when I sent the e-mail.  The

it draws very quickly.
Continuously (actually I sent my email last thing yesterday, and got your

That's a good tip - using integers with draw(), I'm sure that will come in

lingo-l Imaging Lingo and lines

2003-10-01 Thread Martin Pallett
Hi,

I have made a graphing application using Imaging Lingo that displays a 
dataset consisting of two pieces of data (2 lines), that can be overlaid by 
another set of similar data (2 more lines). The two datasets draw in 
different colours so they can be differentiated quite easily. The original 
idea within each dataset (2 lines of the same colour) was to do one as a 
dashed line. Unfortunately, Imaging lingo only provides us with one 
linetype - solid. My next thought was to use two different line 
thicknesses. This doesn't work very well for a number of reasons - the 
endpoints which meet perfectly at 1 pxl thickness do not meet at linesize  
1, and any segments drawn close to horizontal, become 1 pxl thick.

So..

has anyone come up with a way of drawing dashed lines between two arbitrary 
points, or has anyone solved the problems of using linesize values  1 and 
creating a contiguous, consistent thickness line?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

cheers,

RE: lingo-l Projector vs. external cast

2003-08-19 Thread Martin Pallett
Hi,

to the best of my knowledge, there is no need to link a MIAW's external 
casts to the main movie (but as long as they are set to Load when needed 
I suppose it probably won't hurt) - in fact I'm working on a project right 
now where all the MIAW's have external casts that are not linked to the 
stage movie. I would suspect it's more likely to be a path problem.

Is the projector in the same folder you use for authoring? If not, your 
MIAW's may still be trying to link to external casts in a different 
location, although that will usually bring up the dreaded Where is 
castlib...? message

That's about all I can suggest right now off the top of my head...

Hope this is of some help,

Martin Pallett

At 10:15 19/08/2003 -0400, you wrote:
 The external cast needs to be included? In both the MIAW and
 in the stage movie? I assume I just use the (in somewhat
 pseudo): castlib(whatCast).fileName = moviePath 
 myfolder:mycast.cst
It doesn't need to be included in the projector, but it needs to be
specifically linked. Modify | Movie | Casts | Link. Choose the cast,
save and compact. That's the only way the movie knows to use that cast.
I'll admit a little uncertainty on the MIAW issue. I'm pretty sure the
cast needs to be linked to the stage movie, but I could be wrong. Try
linking it to the MIAW movie first, then if it doesn't work, link it to
the stage movie too. I'd appreciate a confirmation.
 I'm in the middle of developing a project where I set up the
 stage first by importing and creating cast members in the
 internal cast and then putting them on stage by assigning
 them to sprites; these cast members are used for navigational
 purposes and does not take a lot of memory.
Ok, just a couple of caveats. First, have a place-holder sprite for the
sprites you're going to assign. It can be a zero-pixel bitmap (open the
paint window, name the cast member, and close the paint window without
drawing anything), and of course the same cast member can be used for
all the place holder sprites.
Also, you will probably want to specifically puppet the sprites when you
assign them new members.
 The actual content consists of a lot of swf-files (and some
 with quicktime
 movies) that are pretty heavy (that's one of the reasons why
 I want to use several external casts).
The swfs can be heavy, but you do know that QT files are always
external, don't you? They're linked by nature, even if the cast is
internal.
 What I have done is crate an empty cast to  which I the
 assign another one using fileName (see part of code below)...
 So I have createted the casts and linked them to my main
 movie (setting up searchPaths and such for the main movie to
 know about).This all works fine during authoring; but my
 problem started when I created a projector for testing (just
 included the main movie and the xtras I need). The projector
 runs fine EXCEPT it does not load any of the members in the
 external casts. I do not get any error message; it just does
 not show the cast members on stage.

 Below is part of the code I am using, like I said...
 authoring-mode is excellent but when creating projector it
 does not work...
 --
 castLib(Content).fileName = the moviePath  Assets:Content.cst

 repeat with i = 1 to the number of members of castLib(Content)
 setMemberPropsOfMe = member(i, Content).name
 setExternalFlaMemberProps(setMemberPropsOfMe)
 end repeat
 --
Ok, I assume your projector is on a Mac. If it's on Windows, you'll need
to use the \ path seperator.
Is the projector in the same folder as your dir file? That is, does the
Assets:Content.cst cast exist as a subfolder? I'm not sure what
setExternalFlaMemberProps does--does it import swf files? If so, do you
have specific paths to those swf files?
If you're using 8.5 or later, it's time to set the debugPlaybackEnabled
= TRUE and do some puts to see what's happening in the projector.
Cordially,

Kerry Thompson

Hi,

not sure exactly what the problem is but have you looked at setting the 
MaxMessageSize in the multiuser.cfg file for the server?

Hi,

I'm using Multiuser xtra to make a text connection to a server and retrieve
data. Basically the user use the barcode in my terminal, I grab the data and
send it to the server. My problem is that my script is sending only  part of
the barcode and receiving only a piece of information. How can I make my
script wait the end of transmission (13 bytes) before execute anything else
and more important how I tell it to wait the full response (57 bytes) before
go to ...
Thank's

In addition to my last post (a bit hasty on the send button...) the other 
thing you might want to look into is SetNetBufferLimits
