Re: Save File
Mitesh, I'm not sure I understood your questions, but I think your answers are: 1) Use the FileIO xtra to save out text files. You will not be able to save out files in Word document format, but you could write a straight text file. 2) The ActiveX control is available. If you have a specific question, you would need to let us know. - Tab At 09:59 AM 4/9/01 +0530, mitesh wrote: >Hi Friends, > >I am having problem in >1. how can i save cast text as text file & word document (*.doc) >2. how can i use activex control & how can i control on that > >If any one can having solution then tell me. > >Thanks >ok. > >Mitesh Gajjar.

finicky hypertext chunks SOLVED
Many thanks to Sean! That was it, and the following trick revives the stillborn hyperlink: OrigMember = sprite(me.spriteNum).member DummyMember = duplicate(OrigMember) sprite(me.spriteNum).member = DummyMember sprite(me.spriteNum).member = OrigMember The nature of the bug is that when a new hyperlink is created in a text member that previously had no hyperlinks, the newly created hyperlink has the hyperlink styles, but does not function as one. The situation is resolved by switching the member back and forth, above. Phew! And I thought I'll have to run away and join the circus.

Re: handler blend (previously alphaThreshold)
No, you only need to define it global if you want to share it in a larger scope than just this handler. So if you want to share "myBlend" in other handlers, or have it keep its value between visits to this handler, then it would be global. Otherwise you don't have to. Unlike some other languages where you have to declare a variable before you can use it, in Lingo just using a variable makes it "come to life". It won't keep its value, though, after the handler exits (goes "out of scope"). To avoid THAT problem, make it global, but otherwise just go ahead and use it. FWIW, you could also just skip the variable all together and do: on prepareFrame mySprite.blend =mySprite.blend - 10 if (mySprite.blend < 0) then mySprite.blend =0 end That's more of a style decision, though. If it's not too complicated I don't mind changing the property directly. If it gets more involved than that, though, I'll personally set up a separate variable, as you did here. - Tab At 12:19 AM 4/9/01 +, N.

Re: Xtra Download--hmmm
>So try creating an xtras folder same level as your movies and copy the >XMLParser into that. I usually do that for a projector--in fact, it's the preferred method, because it will load faster. If you include the Xtras in your projector, they have to be unpacked before the projector can run. However, this is a Shockwave movie, so I don't have that option. It's running off the Web. I've found out that it's a known problem with the new Shockwave beta, and I'm confident Macromedia is working on it. That's what betas are for, isn't it?

Re: finicky hypertext chunks again
2 things...when you want to create hyperlinks in text, you need to get the
ref of a text member (or if a number of them, create a property lists of
refs, ie pRefList = [[1,12],[23,44]], etc) and then in a repeat loop you
want to go through that preflist and set each hyperlink to whatever you want
the data to be.
Second, you can fix that problem you describe by doing:
Member("textmember").usehyperlinkstyles = false
Member("textmember").userhyperlinkstyles = true
I believe...

finicky hypertext chunks again
This is still driving me crazy. --sprite X with a text member in frame "ThisFrame" on beginSprite me sprite(me.spriteNum).member.html = "Link" end PUT sprite(X).member.hyperlinks --[[1,4]] The link is blue and underlined, but the mouse pointer doesn't change shape when it is over it, and the "on hyperlinkClicked" handler is not fired, when I click it. But the best part is: go to frame "OtherFrame" go to frame "ThisFrame" Now the link is clickable. What's going on? How do I make the link clickable the first time around? This is with D8 under Windows 2000.

Re: Xtra Download--hmmm
Unfortunately, I have been SWAMPED and haven't been able to follow this thread carefully. Kerry has likely found the problem withyour discovery that the public beta is not downloading some xtras properly. However, I was reminded of an issue that occured to me when working with a Shockwave file when I didn't expect an error where it occurred. This is almost certainly useless with regard to the downloading of the Xtra package, but it might be helpful in other circumstances. Some are suprised by the order of events in Director. Sometimes a sprite script will ask for something too soon because other Lingo hasn't been executed before hand, or because an asset hasn't yet been fully streamed to the browser, etc. The usual event causing the problem is beginSprite. An abbreviated order of events is: -- "prepareMovie" -- "beginSprite" -- "prepareFrame" -- "startMovie" -- "enterFrame" -- "exitFrame" So, if you've set something up in a startMovie, or even a frame handler, that is later used by a sprite in the same frame, you may still get an error because beginSprite is being executed before those handlers. Again, this probably has nothing to do with the Xtra downloading situation. I don't recall when the start of the download begins. The technotes say "Soon after initial loading starts, the Director movie checks to see if any Xtra packages need to be downloaded." Also, Kerry said he thought his error was occuring BEFORE the PREPAREmovie handler, which would eliminate a beginSprite culprit. Nevertheless, watching the order of events might help diagnose errors that never appear in the authoring environment, but do appear in Shockwave.
