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

Re: timer

2001-04-10 Thread Brajeshwar

I am afraid what are you trying to mean by delaying of 10 seconds,
because 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.

An .inf file is initialization file. What else?
You never need to detect the CD driver of the user system, the OS
does that.
CDs are autorun when the CD ROM have an autorun.inf file in the root
of the CD. This Autorun.inf is the file which helps you start your CD
automatically.
in your autorun.inf, let it piggybag this script
[autorun]

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.

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". Works with "DirectSound" and 
"QT3Mix" and digital video sounds fine with any of those devices.

I guess I'll have to see if my old Ensoniq sound card manufacturer has a

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.

It can on the Mac, not on the PC. I think QT 5, which is in beta, will

Timers

2001-04-10 Thread Kerry Thompson

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

2001-04-10 Thread Tab Julius


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.

MapToStageMember

2001-04-10 Thread Leon McComish

Hope someone can help me - I'm going nuts here.

Have just come back to a game I was making using collision detection from the 
Director-Online site (Charles Forman or GAry Rosensweig's I think). Analyses all 
pixels of a colour type to make a very accurate mask. 

Problem is, I have an error coming up where it was OK before:

Handler not found in object:
otherPoint = sprite(hitSprites[s]).mapStageToMember(myPoint)

This used to work fine. 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). From what I can see, the value myPoint (see code below) suddenly 
becomes VOID. I can't see why. 

CODE:



repeat with s = 1 to hitSprites.count
-- skip self
if sprite(hitSprites[s]) = me.spriteNum then next repeat
-- first check for a simple intersedt
if sprite hitSprites[s] intersects me.spriteNum then 
  -- loop through keypoints
  repeat with i = 1 to pPoints.count
-- get stage location of a keypoint
myPoint = sprite(me.spriteNum).mapMemberToStage(pPoints[i])
-- figure out which pixel this corresponds to in other sprite
otherPoint = sprite(hitSprites[s]).mapStageToMember(myPoint)   
--error
-- see if it corresponds to any point at all
if not voidP(otherPoint) then
  -- get color of pixel there
  pixelColor = sprite(hitSprites[s]).member.image.getPixel(otherPoint)
  --put pixelcolor
  -- if a non-white pixel, then there has been a collision
  if pixelColor <> rgb(0,102,204) then return hitSprites[s]
end if
  end repeat
end if
  end repeat



I can't seem to find the problem. Can someone help me or point me in the right 
direction. I  also don't see a 'handler' being referenced in the script error 
line...

Re: Embedding fonts

2001-04-10 Thread Slava Paperno

This should work: member(9, 1).font = "Linoscript *"

There've been a couple of questions about crossplatform compatibility of 
embedded fonts. I use a tool called TransType from 
http://www.pyrus.com/html/products.html to make Mac fonts from my Windows 
fonts and vice versa. It has never let me down, and iot's incredibly smart 
about variuous code pages/encodings. I embed bopth versions in the same dir 
movie, but always give them slightly different names, and then use

global gSerifFont
if the platform contains "Windows" then gSerifFont = "My Font W *"
else gSerifFont = "My Font M *"

repeat with i = the number of members of castLib "MyCast" down to 1
if member(i, "MyCast").type = #text then member(i, "MyCast").font = 
gSerifFont
end repeat

Sound temporarily stopping action

2001-04-10 Thread Charlie Fiskeaux II

I have a "data carriage" in my CD that has three doors on the front which
open to reveal RGB projection lenses.  When the doors open, they (and the
accompanying whirring sound) sync just fine, but when they close, the sound
(the same whirring sound as the first) has to finish playing before the
doors can close.  I have the doors opening and closing as film loops which
are switched out for the standard static doors when it's time for the doors
to open or close.  In the doors opening, the sound is in the film loop and
it works fine.  In the second one, I've tried putting the sound in the film
loop, I've tried playing it by lingo at the same time as I switch the doors
to the doors closing film loop.  I can't see why it's not letting the doors
close until the sound finishes?!

Any thoughts?

Thank you a lot, Jakob (and James and Werner), this works fine and very fast.

No I have another question:
How can I calculate a "reverse" quad for the sprite's quad to copy the 
pixels of the sprite's rect back to the member image (similar to what 
mapStageToMember does for points) ?
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.

Ute

Re: Frame from videofile

2001-04-10 Thread Charlie Fiskeaux II

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...

2001-04-10 Thread Bill Numerick

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

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?

Thanks for any help on this...

maybe I'm just being a bit pedantic, but the manual says:
"If no net ID is specified, netTextResult returns the result
of the last network operation."
maybe you've got multiple operations in progress... I tend to
specify the netID...

serverString = netTextResult(gNetID)

...with no problems.

Quicktime 4 in Director

We're creating a catalog of QuickTime movies in Director 8. There are
over 350 movies, but no two movies are ever on stage at the same time.
On the Mac, after playing about 200 movies, QuickTime 4.0.2 maxes out,
and we just get white movies, or no video at all. With QuickTime 4.1.2,
we don't have the same problem. Unloading cast member doesn't help.  It
seems to be QuickTime's issue, not Director's.  We would prefer not to
require the user to have 4.1.2.  Any ideas?

can you type in a getNetText in the message window using a file in a known

In general, yes--I've had pretty good experiences with swa audio.

It depends a bit on what you're doing, though. Do you need cue points? Are 
you going to synch with video or anything? Any special needs we should know

RE: bugy SOUND on PC

2001-04-10 Thread Victor Iwan

Have you check your sounddevice

Write this on message window
Put the sounddevicelist  -- to see your sound device
The sounddevice="DirectSound" 
Soundkeepdevice=1

But that's not the point...that's just checking
Please make sure :
1. use "Standard import" than "Linked to external files"
2. try to use queue command. Sound(1).queue(member("soundfiles"))
3. Use more lower sample rate, if the sound still buggy... It reduce
prossesor's work
4. Use lower bit depth, if step 3 still not working
5. Use mono if step 3-4 still not working

Alternative way : try to convert your *.wav to *swa . You know..Size
does matter !

I still learning until now.. So it's just what I've learned so far... It
based on my knowledge and little bit of  my experience although
sometimes I still struggling with sound too

Maybe any experience lingo programmer could give you more advice

RE: Script Error !

2001-04-10 Thread Victor Iwan

I already register my buddyapi with ba reg...
What do you mean about using bareg program ??

Should I buy a new one again... ?
When I using baabout() it said that it licensed to me and shown 124
licensed function

I using baragister in script because in buddyAPI help file..it said :

"You need to use this function before you call any other Buddy
functions. For Director, the best place to do this is in your startMovie
handler. In Authorware, place this into a calculation icon near the
start of the flowline."

Please give me more information... Do I have to still baregister in my
startmovie handler ???



About the script error.. It fixed ! It seem that I removed some default
Xtra...because when I add default Xtra in Xtra dialog box, everything
going to normal again... But I still wonder because I only remove some
Xtra which has internet function like netlingo,netfile,ineturl... Does
it have any impact ??

As an aside, it's just personal habit to store a sprite's belnd value in a

"sprite(x).blend" every time...

Re: handler blend (previously alphaThreshold)

2001-04-10 Thread LePhuronn

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?
(fileIO, propSave, buddY are NOT shockwave safe)

RE: hot to store variables externally

> does anyone know how to store variables etxernally?

what does that mean, "store variables externally?" and I assume that you do
mean eXTernally rather than eTXernally...

you can certainly put them in an INI file or even a straight text file &
read them in on the fly. use the FileIO or Buddy Xtras to read & write the
data to the file. if you do that be sure to use the value() function to
convert them from a text string to an actual value.

Burning CDs is outside the scope of this list - this is a list for Lingo 
and programming questions.

However, what you're interested in is what's called a "shared hybrid" 
CD.  Look in your Toast manual for how to share files and/or make a shared 
hybrid.

Well Kerry, with YOUR experience I figured you might be more then qualified
to tell me all about it :->

Unless Giles kills you from Dim-Sum suffocation first, that is...

They say: "If you tell anyone about it  - we'll shoot you in the kneecaps".
Which is why it's known here as the KnDA ;)
