OT: editing icons for Mac
I apologize for asking an off-topic question. My excuse is that it's certainly part of authoring :-) I'm using Fireworks 3 to create 32x32x16 icons for the Mac desktop, and then I copy-and-paste them to the icon area in Finder's Information window. This much works fine, but how do I make portions of the icon image transparent? What's what's transparent (checkerboard) in Fireworks shows up as white on the desktop. Thanks for any tips!

problem with a handler
Al: Yes, I do need to be absorbed in the basics as you say. (I plan to read your response several times.) With the script I posted about re: problem with handler, the problem is that I'm not ever sure about what number sprite the bee will be. It is an array whose values (and sprite numbers on the score) are constantly being swapped out randomly by three different sprite types (that correspond to three different castmembers-obviously)...so I can't call the "bee" from it's sprite number.

I'm surprised that is all you are getting > Also, I'd prefer to have this part of the script actually 1 - you should really read the documentation on what Sprite as a Lingo keyword actually means. the following is directly from the online HELP: Syntax sprite(whichSprite).property the property of sprite whichSprite Description Keyword; tells Lingo that the value specified by whichSprite is a sprite channel number. It is used with every sprite property. A sprite is an occurrence of a cast member in a sprite channel of the Score. Example This statement sets the variable named horizontal to the locH of sprite 1: horizontal = sprite(1).loc Example This statement displays the current member in sprite channel 100 in the Message window: put sprite (100).member the thing to note here is that the parameter whichSprite is a NUMBER which refers to the channel that the sprite is placed in. "bee shape" is meaningless in this context. I assume that it is a member name, but in this case it is clearly not a sprite. if we were to make the variable whichSpriteNumber equal to the sprite in channel 10 and if you want to refer to the member that is used to make a sprite you do it thus whichSpriteNumber = 10 -- channel 10 sprite(whichSpriteNumber).member and if you actually do want to set that sprite's height & width you do it like whichSpriteNumber = 10 sprite(whichSpriteNumber).width = 0 sprite(whichSpriteNumber).height = 0 and if you want to move it off screen, which is what I assume you desire, you would write sprite(whichSpriteNumber).locV = 1000 locV is the vertical location of the given sprite. this would then, move the sprite to a position 1000 pixels from the top of the screen. additionally your syntax in the handler you are writing is very incorrect. for starters you left off the "end if" for your if...then statement. here is an example from the online Help again if (the commandDown) and (the key = "q") then cleanUp quit end if note the "end if" closure. adding this into your handler & fixing the other problems you might come up with on collisionSprite me property SpriteNum -- built in property getting the sprite number of the -- sprite we are attached to property spiderSpriteNumber -- you have to put this in beeSpriteNum = spriteNum -- we dropped this behavior onto the bee sprite spiderSpriteNumber = 10 -- you edit this number appropriately if sprite(beeSpriteNum ).intersects sprite.(spiderSprite)THEN sprite.(beeSpriteNum ).LocV = 1000 -- move the bee sprite ofscreen sprite.(spiderSpriteNumber).LocV = 1000 -- move the spider sprite ofscreen end if end put this in a behavior script & drop it onto the bee sprite. you would have to edit the spiderSprite number to the appropriate number. what you are trying to do is not the most simple thing. I strongly urge you to read the manual and look at some sample programs. perhaps go to the www.mediamacros.com site & download some code samples. based on the code you posted, you need to spend some time getting the fundamentals own. be sure to also read about behaviors.

Re: Sychronization problem.
Chris > > I want to do a presentation on a subject compining sound and video I have gathered material : .wav and . mov files and some pictures(.pic).

Assuming the video files has no sound in them I would think this is a very basic score project. I would put the .wav files in the audio channel in the score and the corresponding pics and movs in the score sprite channels. Then i would use the "clock channel" in the score to make the playback head wait for the .wav or the .mov to finis before it moves to the next frame. That would be the easy basic way. If you need to know where You are in each .wav or .mov You could consider inserting cuepoints into these files and have Director check for these and act appropriately. If You are on Windows You can insert cuepoints with soundForge or coolEdit. Look in the Help or Docs for sychronization, audio and video If You have sound in Your .mov files You shoul be aware of the fact that You might not be able to play .wav sounds at the same time as the .mov is playing. Then of course there is the Lingo way of doing this. You might want to look into these keywords puppetSound sound playFile() queue() soundBusy() cuePointPassed() movieTime() movieRate() Loops in Lingo is created with the repeat statement. There is "repeat with" and "repeat while". You will find them in the Help and/or Docs.

One of the smartest things I did some time ago, was to create a grid that looks like graph paper when printed. I might be able to dig the code out of archive sometime next week. If I recall correctly, it drew verticle and horizontal lines every 10 picas and a blue line every 100 picas (I think that's the unit POM uses). I may have drawn thicker lines for margins & such, too. Just a couple of simple loops with drawLine(), I believe. Then, when aligning stuff, I would print the content, place it on top of the grid and hold them up to the light. Even better, I used to have a ruler that was measured out in picas and other print units. I really should go find another such ruler. As for the negative numbers, could it be relative to the print margins rather than the paper size? It's been a while, but I don't see where you're getting or setting the margins.

Well here is another more easy to understand description I want to do a presentation on a subject compining sound and video I have gathered material : .wav and . mov files and some pictures(.pic).

Will i need some advanced lingo like a list from where i will load one after the other the files? Is there a for loop in Director , i keep seeing only If ... else statements? Should i just arrange them on the score in order? Please give me some advise on the matter. Thanks in advance for your help.

Sychronization Problem
Hello, I am new in the Director scene but very exhited for what someone can achieve with Multimedia Director and Lingo. You see i am trying to build a CD ROM title. I find it is the best exercise for me at the moment to explore the limitations of the technologies included in the Macromedia Packages! So, to my question: I have gathered some raw material and i want to sychronize them, I have a series of not to long long .wavs (10 to 15sec)and some .mov files . The material is from a CD title and the builders have the files in a folder and named them with arithmetic order. So far so good, the think i want to do is to take this stuff and sychronize it in my CD title. Offcourse i can arange them in such way in the score window so the one will follow the other. Bare in mind that we have here .wavs and .movs , files which are quite demanding .But this technique limits the functionality of the CD. For examble the user will not be able to stop the media and propably loading a mov file after another for 10 to 15 times propably will cause problems. I want some advise on this matter.Probably i need some Lingo to do the HARD JOB ! Whats your opinion on this matter and what techniques are better to use. Thanks for your help already.

RE: Search Path
> I am trying to open file external but for that i want reader so i have > to search the exe file path by lingo for that i want that script so if > any one can know then please inform me. While what you desire COULD be done with Lingo, it is far easier & faster to do using an Xtra designed for that purpose. The MasterApp Xtra contains a function specifically designed for that purpose named mappLocateExecutable() It returns the path to the executable registered to handle the document at the file path specified. MasterApp gives you broad control over other applications from your Director presentation. The most common application for MasterApp is building connectivity between your Director piece and various Web browsers and Web pages. However, MasterApp is much more powerful than this basic use, including dozens of methods for launching, monitoring and controlling external applications. Price: $299.00 Platforms: 32-bit Windows, Win 3.1, Mac Director versions supported: Director 4,5,6,7,8 Author: Glenn Picher MasterApp is a commercial Xtra sold by UpdateStage. You find out more information, download an evaluation version or purchase the Xtra here: http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/xtrahome.html I hope that this information is useful.
