Re: timer
>if this is the normal delay of the playhead on a particular >frame, you could have done with that tempo setting and giving it 10 >seconds. Huh? There's no way you can set the tempo to 1 frame every 10 seconds. You can't do a 10-second delay with the tempo. There are three ways: the milliseconds, the ticks, and a timeout object. A timeout object is probably the easiest to use. I posted this a couple of hours ago, but I'll do it again to keep it in this thread. First, wherever you want to start the timer--say in a mouseUp handler--you do this: timeout("myTimer").new(1, #myHandler, me) That creates a timeout object. After 10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds), it will call a handler named myHandler. So, you need a handler: on myHandler showNextQuestion --call a custom handler timeout("myTimer").forget() -- don't forget to dispose of your timeout object end myHandler Cordially, Kerry Thompson Learning Network [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.

Re: mp3 files
>Do any of you know how I can make a director movie that links to and plays >mp3's outside of the movie file? Is it possible? Yep. MP3 is basically the same as Shockwave audio, except with a different header. Are you going to link at runtime, or will you know beforehand which ones you're going to use? You can either import them into the movie, or link them at runtime by setting the filename of a cast member, then treating it like any other audio.

Re: The number of sound channels
I probably read about it right here. I've just discovered that my _old_ PII 266 with Win2K doesn't play audio sounds at all if the soundDevice = "MacroMix".

Re: The number of sound channels
Well, I've known about at least 8 sound channels for a while via puppetsound; in fact I think there may actually be more. But it does say somewhere (either in the docs or one of the many Dir books you can get) that to be perfectly sure that the sound will playback fine, you might want to use only 4 channels as more than 4 might choke on Win.

Timers
I said earlier I'd post some timer code in response to Sreedhar's request. This is really a better way than using the timer if you have D8. First, wherever you want to start the timer--say in a mouseUp handler--you do this: timeout("myTimer").new(1, #myHandler, me) That creates a timeout object. After 10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds), it will call a handler named myHandler. So, you need a handler: on myHandler go to frame the frame + 10 --or wherever you want to go end myHandler Timeouts are really easy to use, and quite reliable.

Re: charToNum question continued
Well, on a mouseUp, you are calling uppercase, and passing only your reference (me), but uppercase really takes two parameters, so you're effectively passing in nothing. However, then you set it to the value of member "userData", so that gets around that problem (although a little backwards). Also I note that you have a handler called upperCase and ALSO a property called uppercase. Properties are private storage variables, and all you'll accomplish here is a name conflict. I would suggest dropping the 'property Uppercase' as you're not using it, and if you do need it and just didn't include that info, then change the name. At any rate, as a quick test, if you make UpperCase a function in a movie script and allow it to accept input, and then call it from the message window, you'll see that submitting "Hello" returns "ELLO". So, anything that gets converted is included, but if something is already uppercase, it is not added to the output string automatically. I also note that if you give a string like: put uppercase("8 02$Hello123") that it will still give "ELLO", meaning that it properly ignored the other characters. So, the only thing that you're really doing wrong is neglecting to just add in the character if you find it is there correctly. I personally would probably just write it something like this: on uppercaseII input output ="" inputLen =length(input) aNum =charToNum("a") zNum =charToNum("z") repeat with x=1 to inputLen thisChar =char x of input thisCharNum =charToNum(thisChar) -- Convert if necessary if ((thisCharNum >=aNum) and (thisCharNum <=zNum)) then thisChar =numToChar(thisCharNum - 32) end if -- If valid, add it to the output if (thisChar >= "A" and thisChar <="Z") or (thisChar =" ") then output =output & thisChar end if end repeat return(output) end The only catch is the place where I convert them to thisCharNum and check by number. In other languages, you can do a comparison like if (thisChar >="a"), because they actually compare and differentiate a small "a" (ascii 97) from a large "A" (ascii 65). Lingo considers a small and a large "A" to be equivalent, so for the first test where we convert them, it has to be done by number. If it wasn't Lingo, you could probably shave this in half. In the second test, where we decide to include them or not, it's already been converted - all we need to know is if the member is part of the set of allowable characters we want, and if so, add it to the output. Note that I also made a space character allowable, but that may not work for you. There are, of course, many other ways to do this, but I like the straightforward way. There are also ways to optimize this, but we won't get into that here. - Tab At 10:40 PM 4/10/01 +, N.

The code is on a ball sprite (bitmap), checking against a bitmap background. It only occurs when you move the mouse cursor into the ball (so it can be dragged).

I can do it by using get/setPixel and mapStageToMember for every pixel but there must be a more elegant way. Again thanks in advance for your help.

Re: sprites reacting to sounds (?)
hi, you can use a good xtra for Director called asFFT (it's free!) made by Antoine Schmitt; you can download it at www.gratin.org/as/ ; I'm tryng to create with it a movie for children with handicap of language, but it's useful also for a feedback with the microphone.

Re: Frame from videofile
You can cut frames in Director. Double click on the QT cast member so that you open it up in the preview window. For just one frame, move the slider to the frame you want, and choose Edit:Copy or Edit:Cut if you actually want to eliminate it from the video. You can then paste it wherever you want. If you want more than one frame, put the slider at the start frame, hold shift, then drag the slider to the last frame. The slider bar will be dark grey where the frames are selected. Then Cut or Copy those frames.

How can i get the y of the bottom line of a...
Hi All, I'm in need of some help and hoping to get some ideas here :). This list has been a great help to me and someday i hope i can be a helper instead of the one always needing help :). My question is, how can i get the y coord of the bottom line or last word of a paragraph in a text member that uses html? Basically giving the functionality of viewing an html doc with images. I've been digging and have not been able to find a way to return the y value of a paragraph. An example of how it would look on screen would look like this. MEAP-like item: Students will be given two- or three-dimensional objects and asked to identify and name similarities and differences. Example: Image is placed here Given these two figures [matii1e2a.png], a pair of shared attributes is A. four sides; all right angles. B. four sides; opposite sides the same length. C. four equal sides; opposite sides are parallel. D. opposite sides are parallel; all right angles. Ans. C Source Elementary Grades Assessment: Package 1p. 188; Elementary and Middle School Mathematics: Teaching Developmentally, Third Edition. By John Van de Walle p. 351 I want to get the y coord of the word Example. So i can use that to place the y coord of the image. Another thought are there any Xtra's that would allow me to just use html with images??? Boy would that make my life easier ;). Or is there another easier way to do it i'm not thinking of?

Re: handler blend (previously alphaThreshold)

Re: handler blend (previously alphaThreshold)
Not sure what you exactly mean here. You don't need to define a global variable to set your initial blend values. The code I gave you was only a start point for you to modify the code for your personal needs. When exactly do you want this blend to occur. I noticed you are calling the routine from a seperate handler. If you put the script I gave you direct into the sprite's script it will run. Give me more info on what you want, and I'll further advise.

Re: Script Error !
This may not be the root of your script error, but it's a distinct possibility. What you've described does require this, in any case. Using the BuddyAPI register number in a script is for temporary evaluation. You need, instead, to use the baReg program to register your Xtra. You can get that utility from the same site you got Buddy.

Hi, if variables are just litlle strings, then lingo getPref/setPref is enough. Other choice is propSave Xtra (free, from www.pimz.com) : it's this xtra main purpose (also vList, from updatStage I beleive... but not tried a lot) Another consoderations is : should it be for shockwave or off-line?
