Sound problem

2001-04-02 Thread umrik


Hi, list

here is my problem. I made a small projector in D8 "Intro". It plays
quicktime  movie & sound file. These two files are external. Everything is
good in dir file, but after converting into projector movie always stops in
the frame - music should starts? Maybe i need to include some special xtra?
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Andrii Umrik

Yes, you could do that. You should read up on Director's "Movie in a 
Window" feature--we often call it MIAW. Open the Director Help, go to the 
index, and type in "Movie in a Window."

Use digital video judiciously, though. It really chew up the CPU cycles, so 
I wouldn't recommend running more than one at a time unless you're 
targeting high-end machines.

kerry i am really sorry !! first of all i can't figure out how to get rid of the html formatting in my email.  i really liked the listserv but i was getting way tpo many emails than i could manage and i was missing some important ones.  i'd understand if you chose not to help me but i really need it and it is for educational reasons i am here at colloge at Ohio University. do you have any suggestions for me to make this better for al of us?1. can't i just open new windows with another director file that has a lone sprite as the video member?2. the director help is elusive about the size of windows and i have'nt been able to figure out how to change the size of a window.  the rect of sprite also does'nt seem to efect things except when i put "put the rect" and it tells me where i moved the window to.
i hope to hear from youmike

One way that comes to mind is a property list where each property is a door 
type and the value of each would be a list of the list windows. For example:

[#frenchDoor: [winA, winB, winC], #steelDoor: [winD, winE, winF]]

Then you can access the list based on the door selected.

Hi

You can change the hilite of text members by setting the selection...

member("SomeTextMember").selection = [0,0]

 should clear the hilte out of the text member.  You can set the selection
to anything that you want. You shouldn't need the hilite or the selEnd...
actually I don't believe either function with text members.

Re: stubborn hilite in editable text

2001-04-02 Thread Lord LePhuronn

Also something to bear in mind...

Although text members do not have the hilite()
function (I wish they did!) you can use the selStart
and selLength commands to select characters in the
field.

As a result, you could try using something like

textMember.selStart = 0
textMember.selLength = 0

I think it's something like that - I've been awake too
long! Anyway this effectively sets the selection of
the  text member to 0 characters so you won't get a
hilite.

Also a little trick I use is to have a editable field
or text member placed off stage (locH = -5000) that
initially receives edit focus (place it in a score
channel above the other editables that you want to
use). You can then set in code the text/field you want
to focus on. I think the command is the keyFocus, but
don't hold me to that. I'll get back to you properly
once I've gone home and slept!!

Re: SO SORRY

2001-04-02 Thread Tab Julius


We usually will drop accounts right away if messages to them bounce back as 
"User Unknown", which was what happened in your case.  I can send you a 
bounced message if you're interested.

If we get a "Host Unknown", we assume (to start) that a server is down.  If 
the "Host Unknown" continues for days, then we'll drop the account, but we 
would not normally do it just after a few hours.

But if it is "User Unknown", then we have to assume that you're not 
around.  We don't have any other way to verify - we obviously can't email 
you to ask (since your email is "unknown").  Things like "User Unknown", 
"No such account", and so forth, we have no way of telling if they're 
temporary or permanent.  They sound permanent, so we take them off.

If this happens to you, take no offense - just sign back up when your email 
is fixed.

In all the years of running this list, since 1996 I think, I believe I've 
only actually removed two people from the list for behavior.   If you have 
email problems that doesn't make us mad - we just don't know what's going 
on, and as far as we can tell, your email account is gone.  If it's not, 
then straighten out your server and sign back up.

Just so everyone knows, I usually get a couple of hundred bounced emails a 
day, and there's usually anywhere between 3 and 10 accounts at any given 
time that have problems.  For every email posted to the list I get a 
bounced message from each and every one of these accounts, so magnify your 
Lingo-L traffic by 5 or 10, and that's the amount of bounced messages I see.

The "Unknown User" ones I weed out right away.  The ones that appear to be 
problems with the server I will let ride for a few days, but if by the end 
of the week I'm still getting notification that the server can't be found, 
then I will drop those.

The only other thing is that we get a lot of "Mailbox full - quota 
exceeded" messages.  I understand these can happen, because of the traffic, 
so I will let these ride for a few days as well.  But if a few days go by, 
particularly a few business days (I give more time during weekends and 
holidays), eventually I have to take those people off too, otherwise I 
would have 40 or 50 or more people at any given time with reception 
problems.  Multiple the traffic by 40 or 50 and you can see why we take 
pains to manage the list.

However, we don't take offense and it's not like we don't like you.  We're 
just trying to manage the traffic.  If your problem is resolved, just get

About flickering when changing windowType on Mac 2

2001-04-02 Thread Andreas Gaunitz

Sorry, shouldave put the link there:
http://www.virtuagirl.com/us/about1.html



About flickering when changing windowType on Mac:

Has anybody heard anything about MacOS X redraw characteristics? 
Maybe the flicker will go away 'by itself'... I would like to make an 
app that works pretty much like the Virtuagirl, but that's a no go 
with this stupid flickering.

Err... Director will work on OSX... I suppose?

stubborn hilite in editable text

2001-04-02 Thread clars danvold

hello all- 

I'm sure this must be a repeat post:

I have an editable text member.
At different times its editable property gets set TRUE and FALSE,
depending on the situation. 
Often after setting editable to FALSE, the entire text is highlighted.
No amount of end user clicking can make this go away.

The problem only surfaces in a projector.

Repeatedly setting editable to FALSE has no effect.

The strange thing is, text members shouldn't even have a
hilite-property.

Does anyone have a bug fix/ workaround?

regards, Clars

Re: Can I use Lingo to Set Variable (Make by LiveStage) in QuicKTime

Ha! More research over the weekend: Quicktime 5 has a fairly decent way
to get Lingo to communicate (both ways) with wired actions without using
the above trick. It's a bit of a slow hack, but you can exchange as much
data as you want. 

I could say more, but then I'd have to kill you.

Register with Apple Developer Connection (free!) and download the QT5
developer pdf if you want to see how this might work.

More details from me after QT5 and LiveStage 3 get out of beta...

[CrossPost] Announce: OSControl Xtra released

2001-04-02 Thread mare

PegHole is very happy to announce the release of the OSControl Xtra.

This sprite Xtra adds a couple of long awaited member types to Macromedia
Director (version 7 and above): boxes, scrollbars, push buttons, bevel
buttons, progressbars, 'little arrow'-buttons, sliders, radio buttons and
checkboxes.

Unlike Director's own controls the OSControls are all non-DTS so you can
move other sprites on top of them, and they all are drawn in the OS
appearance of the playback machine. These controls are truly
cross-platform: on a Macintosh they will look like Macintosh controls, on a
PC running Windows they will look like Windows controls. These controls are
ideal for rapid prototyping, making cross-platform applications that look
'real' and many other kinds of projects.

Visit our website and download the free demo version:

http://www.peghole.com/xtras/osc_xtra/

A selection of the many features:

  * Fast.
  * Not DTS (Direct to Stage): other sprites (even animations) on top
of controls.
  * Boxes with various styles and an optional text label.
  * Push buttons with an optional default ring.
  * Bevel buttons with three sizes of bevels and optional image
on them.
  * Checkboxes with three states: on, off or mixed.
  * Radio buttons with three states: on, off or mixed.
  * Progressbars in two variations: plain and 'barberpole' style.
  * Sliders with three styles of thumbs and a user-defined number
of tickmarks.
  * Little arrows to control a decimal entry field.
  * Vertical and horizontal scrollbars can be used to scroll text,
fields, images and other content.
  * Controls can have text labels in the system font of the
playback machine.
  * All control properties can be set at member level and sprite level.
  * All controls have a GroupID so you can manipulate entire groups
at once.
  * All interactions with a control are asynchronous (threaded), so
other operations like animations will continue while you interact
with a control.
  * Systemsounds on MacOS.
  * Works in Shockwave (auto-downloadable versions available soon) and
will work under MacOS X!
  * And many more features...

The OSControl Xtra is available in one package including both a Macintosh
and a Windows version.

A single user license is only US$ 99.00. Site licenses are available.

We hope this Xtra is useful for you and your clients.

Regards,

--

RE: QVR auto scroll

on exitFrame
--Thanks a lot in advance



The QTVR object's pan angle property can be both tested and set.  Just
change the pan angle of the QTVR in a repeating loop of some kind.  I
typically will use an exitFrame handler to do this -- incrementing or
decrementing the pan angle each exitFrame event by some amount
appropriate to how fast you wish to pan -- so other events can also
occur concurrently.  A straight repeat loop will lock everything else
out until it finishes.
