Re: lingo-l Definite Bug in IML32.dll/DirAPI.dll v8.5.1.104
Make a U-turn back...typical in former windows sets of Director-modes. Bitmap had one in D7, as often halting or mocking things up... General rule, never use first edition or first versions could be thought of here... they are for 'the shooting galleries' in cheap testings for the public.. On the other hand, what is first? The hen or the egg ? I gather you have at least some space left on the HD..? Win NT isn't the best op-system to go on, at least of my knowledge in former handling external files. But that was then (NT3)...blockages and so on. W2k is of same stuff, but I havn't tested what it might say in networks. At least some improvements in shared files in network said. But I might be too zceptical again... + Quoting roy crisman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Last week I installed the 2 new Networking Xtras, and the 2 new DLL's (IML32 and DIRAPI) in my Director 8.5.1 PC Win2000 developing environment. On 3 different Win2000 PC's with D8.5.1. Now, I can no longer use the debugger when an error happens (clicking [script] or [cancel] is ok, but not [debug]). I also can't use the debugger by setting a breakpoint. - FREE E-MAIL IN 1 MINUTE! - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.pc.nu [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: lingo-l Definite Bug in IML32.dll/DirAPI.dll v8.5.1.104
The non-standard upgrade was the instruction set that I got from Macromedia. They (Tom) posted a link to the technote with the instructions for the two new net xtras (for development and shockwave). Installing them alone caused errors. Macromedia Tom said Oh yeah, you'll need these two dll files and pointed me to them. That fixed the New Net Xtra problem, but caused this debugger issue. I'm pretty sure Tom also mentioned using the wish list as a bug reporting listfinding that address took enough time, you mean i've got to go much around their site looking for a bug-report address, too? roymeo At 05:51 PM 11/11/2002 -0500, you wrote: Roy, 1) I don't think wish-director is the place to report bugs 2) Where did you get new DLLs?

Yeah, you shouldn't do that. The files were released to fix a bug in Shockwave that does not, and never has, affected either the authoring environment or projectors. I don't know why the technote tells you to copy the files to your Director folder as well as Shockwave, but it's clearly wrong.

Where did the updated DLLs come from? Updating just the two Xtras caused an alert-type message in Director (and Shockwave, I believe), because they were also supposed to be paired with the two new DLLs. Macromedia Tom pointed me to the two DLL's when I whined about it not working on another list. roymeo I had to reinstall Director as a result of this (didn't back up the old files), but I got an error on startup (as did at least one other poster on m.d.l). Fortunately, the Xtras do fix the Shockwave problem. However, I don't know why they haven't updated the standard download yet (auto-update doesn't work reliably as stated in the technote (at least not immediately): you have to apply the patch manually to every system). - Robert [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]).
