3D maze game

In addition of my last post regarding GetNetText, I've tried a very simple

gNetID =

End
In another frame
global gNetID
on exitFrame me
if (netdone(gNetID) = true AND netError(gNetID) = "OK") then
put netTextResult(gNetID)
halt
end if
go to the frame
end
Message window:
-- "
"
But If I use the same script line by line in message window, the xml file is
returned complete.

Multiuser Xtra received bytes
Hi, How can I make a movie wait a string to be completely send by a server using Multiuser Xtra? I'm using the xtra to conect to a server in text mode, I pass a string and in response the server always will send 57 bytes. The problem it's seems that multiuser is to quick in send the string and ask for response, but the server sometimes is overloaded and take a few seconds to respond.

Multiuser xtra wait full data
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.

GetPixel() to compare colors
Hi list, I'm using getPixel to compare 2 images and return the differences between them. After I run a list of points and check if some points are diferent from the bgcolor (white).

Hi list, Things is never easy as we think :-/ Some weeks ago I asked about barcode readers and credit card readers (thank's everybody for the answers), but now someone here goes nutt and want an integration between Director and Smart Card readers. I've found a set of protocols and functions to call the reader and contact the bank and etc. But how can I implement this in director. Does anyone have idea? Maybe Serial Port communication?? thks' Rodrigo [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: Web Services
I think it's only a matter to understand XML. Web services is based on it. Since Director can parse XML, a lot of work could make it possible. http://www.directorxml.com/ Rodrigo on 2/13/03 4:21 AM, pjg at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi all, > > I haven't been actively involved in the lingo list for some time now > (although that is soon set to change).

Re: Re: multiple undo
ok. Multiple undo will be the paradise. but nested movie clips...urghhh!!! I hate it in my opinion is the best way to mess up the things.

Re: **still have** problems to attach castlib in windows
but, since the PC attached the castlib the supply of vitamin "\" isn't ok???
What is making me crazy is it, the evil side (PC) attach the castlib, but
when I try to use any member of the attached castlib it asks for a
replacement file.

problems to attach castlib in windows
Hi list,
I'm using the CastControl xtra to link external castlibs from cd on the fly.
In Mac everything works great, but in windows it links the cast but when I
try to change the member to one of the linked cast the project begins to ask
for replacement files.
Does anyone knows what could be wrong??
I'm using this:
routine to ask for cd, using DirectOS Xtra
If the cd is the right one them
AttachCastLib("baixacast", drive & "baixacast")
AttachCastLib("altacast", drive & "altacast")
atual = sprite(22).member.name
sprite(22).member = member(atual,"altacast")
ps: drive is a variable that grab the letter of cd or name of it is running
on Mac. To acomplish this I used a repeat in dosGetDrives() " DirectOS"
Thank's
Rodrigo

list and castlibs
Hi list, I have this piece of code that should make a loop and grab the number of members in castlib "low cover" , internal castlib with 178 low res images. The problem is that it function sometimes in authoring and never in runtime. if i go to the message and "put gPontostimeline" sometimes it's ok, sometimes the list is full of 0.0. gCovers = the number of members of castlib "low cover" repeat with x = 1 to (gCovers - 1.0) -- subtract one because don't have castmember 0 gPontosTimeline.add(gEscale * x) end repeat Does anyone have an idea??

navigate in external cast
Hi list, I'm in a project where the aplication is instaled in the user HD. And in another cd I have a cast with 1500 images. I'm using castcontrol to link this cast to the main project, that's fine. The problem is..While the cd is loading There's a image in the application in HD saying "loading", after loading I change the member of this image to the first image of the attached caslib. Now I need to go back and forward in the images on that castlib. To change I've used sprite(53).member = member(1,"lowcast") but now, how I can go + 1 and -1 in the other images??

Re: constraint to area
Well... my english isn't so goog, but let's try to explain better :-) Imagine a black background (sprite) and over it a big image that goes out of the stage because it's size. I want to drag it to see all of it, but when the edges of the bigger image begins visible it stops so that the user can't see the black behind it.

multiple cd project
Hi list, regarding my problem with a multiple cd project, here is my problem. The piece is a cdrom from a magazine. The part that is installed in the user hd will have the magazine's cover, when clicked will open the pages to the user to browser with next,previous buttons. Something like if he is reading the magazine. Since it's magazine have many pages, we put 30 of each in each CD totalizing 6 cd's (18.000 pages totally). My question is, how I made this, click on the cover (in HD) and navigate in the respective pages of that edition in another cd. Can I dinamically link the external cast in cd with pages?? I use play movie and duplicate the interface in each CD?? I couldn't think in a good way to do this!

I want that my users have the ability to import files in the project (ok, it's fine) but, there's a way to check the time, or percentage or anything and make a progress bar?

avoid 180 sprites "got worst"
Hi list, First of all thank's very much for the help in this tread. My problem got worst since the designers here changed the layout. Now the 180 division became so close that I don'tknow how to check the positions. Maybe is it possible to work in a relation of the position on the bar and image?? something like an slider?? If someone could help, in this url is the layout. The bar is int the rigth of the window http://www.arteria.com.br/adriano/interface2.jpg Thank's again Rodrigo [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]).

Best way to avoid 180 channels in score??
Hi list In my project I'll have a cronologic line with 180 dots in it. Each dot will have a rollover effect and when clicked go to a specific session of the CD. Is there another way to build it, without using 180 channels in the score?? I thought in film loop, but I think that this "dummy" thing can't control the main stage, right??

Re: change between hi-res and low-res images
Buzz, first of all thank's for the help, but If I could understand right,
the code doesn't do any kind of delay until changes the image to the hi-res.
This won't make things slower, i mean since it will try to show the hi-res
everytime the user do a key up?? There's a way to put a little delay before
it change the image, so if the user change his mind and press the key again
the project jumps to next quickly, or Am I worng??? :-/
Thank's in advance
Rodrigo

change between hi-res and low-res images
Hi list, I'm in a project that will deal if BIG images and the user will navigate to view them using the arrow keys. To reduce the time I thought in use low-res images (preview) and when the user stops pressing and stays in the preview for 10 secs the image switchs to the hi-res one. Is it possible to do it??Someone has ideas in how to implement this or steps?

Re: dialup with director
What I thought (is this the right spell?) is a file with ISP numbers in each city. the user chooses it city put your pass and login and the program do a connection with this inputs to the number of that choosen city, so after that he/her can open the browser and navigate. I never saw the earthlink program but I think it's something like that, withou the modem configuration that the user had to have done before. The idea is to build a way that the user conects to the ISP, without the need to configure numbers, etc.. on 5/6/02 7:21 PM, Howdy-Tzi at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > At 18:56 -0300 05/06/2002, Rodrigo Peres wrote: > >> This soft (or the idea of it :-) is to give the user the hability to connect >> to an ISP, based on his/her location.

Re: dialup with director
First of all, thank's for the answers. This soft (or the idea of it :-) is to give the user the hability to connect to an ISP, based on his/her location. So the user is the guy who's decide when to connect or disconnect. Taking this in consideration this can be created without much "pain" in director?? or I will be insane to try it in this way?? on 5/6/02 5:28 PM, Howdy-Tzi at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > At 17:00 -0300 05/06/2002, Rodrigo Peres wrote: > >> Hi list, >> >> Is it possible to develop an application with director that makes dialup >> connections to an ISP?? > > Yes, but it is a huge pain in the ass.

dialup with director
Hi list, Is it possible to develop an application with director that makes dialup connections to an ISP?? I've been looking the DirectConnection xtra, but if I stabilish a connection with it, can i navigate in internet with a web browser or this connection is restricted to "projector" enviroment??

best database xtra
Hi list, I'm about to develop an application that will need to store about 10.000 pages of text and images. My users will need to be able to perform search in this texts. Based on this, i'd like to ask advices about the best aproach to store this data and search it. I'm experienced in SQL and dynamic languages for web, but never had done anything so big in director. If someone can help with ideas in the best xtra, or storing procedure I'll apreciate.
