RE: lingo-l Dir MX 2004 and MP3
hi, tom good news for miaws, but all these new settings (cast members masks for non-rectangular miaws and projectors, icons, buttons on the title bar, etc) may be set using lingo? and what do you mean by Mask animation? q At 14:57 6/1/2004, you wrote: Troy, I see the projector publishing... but what are the MIAW changes? Docking? For tool xtras? The changes to MIAWs are _awesome_ IM-not so-HO: 1. Official support for non-rectangular MIAWs and non-rectangular stage windows! Windows can now also mask themselves. Mask animation is _much_ smoother to boot! 2. Support for drag masks so that you can get OS dragging on various window areas (esp. if you use masked windows) instead of having to roll your own dragging code. 3. Instead of a single windowType property you now have full control over the elements that appear in your window: close box, minimize box, maximize box, border or no border, etc., and a metal appearance (OSX only) and you can define an icon (bitmap member) to be used in the MIAW's title bar (Win only)! 7. All of this window structure is now settable via the Property Inspector on a new tab, Display Settings. This allows you to set up a template of sorts for how that movie will appear when opened as a MIAW. Then you just open that window and move on, no need to format the window everytime you open it in your code. Of course you can aways create the window object then over-ride the template settings before opening, your choice. I'm sure there are a few other items in there I'm not remembering at the moment, but the above should get you interested enough, I hope. :) Yes, backwards compatibility is in the product so your old movies with their old MIAW code will still behave as they always have.

Re: Dir MX 2004 - MIAW's (was: RE: lingo-l Dir MX 2004 and MP3)
that´s what i thought, i asked just to be sure. :^) the projector itself (not a miaw) may have the non-retangular animated window as well? let´s see if my guess is right again! :^) q At 15:30 6/1/2004, you wrote: hi, tom and what do you mean by Mask animation? Well, I'm the fussy sort and thought that I'd like to make a non-rectangular MIAW using a masking bitmap member.

RE: lingo-l scriptInstanceList

I'm guessing you don't have placeholder sprites. This sounds like a known issue with sprites created on the fly without placeholders. The issue is actually that fiddling with the scriptInstanceList affects the whole sprite channel--locks it up so other scriptInstanceList changes don't take. The fix is to use placeholder sprites. It only takes a minute to create a zero-pixel bitmap and fill 500 channels with it.

hi, rob yes, you´re right, that´s exactly my problem. i´ve made a simple dir just to show what´s happening. here are the scripts: movie script --## on startMovie repeat with i = 1 to 3 puppetSprite i,TRUE sprite(i).member = member 1 of castLib 1 sprite(i).loc = point(400 + random(70),300 + random(70)) sprite(i).scriptInstanceList.add(script(zoom)) sendAllSprites(#change,1) updateStage end repeat end --## the script attached to the sprites, named zoom --## property pTest on beginSprite me pTest = 1 end on change me,a pTest = a end on findout put pTest end --## just create a bitmap on cast member 1 of castlib 1, and if you like put it on channel 4, upper left corner (doesn´t matter where) and assign the script above. it´ll show you how a sprite that was not created on the fly behaves. use sendSprite(anynumberfrom1to4,#change,anyparameteryouwant) on the message window to test. if you type sendSprite(2,#change,10) and hit enter, and then type sendSprite(3,#findout), you´ll see that sprite 3 pTest has changed and are equal to 10, and it shouldn´t, because i´ve sent a message to sprite 2 only. all sprites have changed, except sprite 4, that was not created on the fly. thanks and regards, q At 16:42 24/6/2003 -0400, you wrote: Hi, Kerry suggested one possibility but I think I'm reading your problem a little differently. You have a bunch of sprites lets say 1 to 10 which are all created on the fly sending a message to one of them affects them all right? Kerry I think the problem you are describing is if you create a sprite on the fly in channel 2 frame 5, lets say, and then jump to fram 500 where a score created sprite exists, the script instancelist applied in frame 5 mucks up the score one in frame 500. Let me know if I'm wrong. Anyway I think the problem Quixada is having stems from how the behaviours are attached to the sprite on the fly. Sounds to me like each sprite is not getting a unique instance of the behaviour but rather pointers to the same instance.

WAIT! At this point in your code doStatement = data(hello), that looks a
lot like hello is a variable doesn't it? If your param is a string then
you'll need to do something like this:
doStatement = tHandler(QUOTEtNumQUOTE)
as after this doStatement = data('hello') and you're now properly
passing a string hello to the handler and not some missing variable
named hello. Make sense? If not then we'll give it another go. It's
critical to look at the string you're doing, you must make sure that the
string looks like Lingo you'd execute.
Cheers,
Tom
