Re: lingo-l list uses
Tyler, you can actually use lists for almost 1000 things. If i understood your question, you need to create a tile based map, and make your boat moving within. Of course lists are grat for this. I'm working in these days to a similar project, and i'm developing a map engine that may be similar to the one you need. It's based on Objects rather than on the score/sprites approach. I try to explain you what steps to consider in creating such a thing. 1 - a map consists in coordinates that you can store as points into a list. 2 - besides, you have a number of horizontal rows, and a number of vertical rows. 3 - tiles originates by such an environment have a width and a height. 4 - could happen that some tiles are not empty, so they contain obstacles, enemies, bonus points, other boats, and whatever you want. 5 - when your boat has to move, it has to look for a direction in the map. These are the basic aspects to consider i think: well they're the ones i considered at the first time, others came after a while :-) HopeThisHelps. Doei Faisal I was reading my Director 7 Demystified book about Lists, and I wondered if I could use lists to solve another of my problems... I have a grid, 20x20, that I want to have a sprite navigate around -- in fact, the sprite is a boat. Can I use a list to keep track of what grid squares are land and what are water, and use that information to create a path for the boat to follow (so that the boat does not drive across land)? -- [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.

(why only churn out a beefed up slide-show or put your web site onto a cd-rom if you have all the power of director at your disposal? -or is it that there are in fact too few people around who can use director properly and efficiently, and the ones who end up doing the cds would make a really good cd a long and expensive ventuer (by basically having to learn on the job [not that we all do that anyway..]). i haven't tried Director 8.5, because i'm wondering if it's worth it at all. shrug my thoughts are that i should skip it altogether and change my allegiance to Flash (which, by the way, i do NOT want to do). i think that the two things that will keep director afloat and going in the future are: the 3d thing and shockwave on one hand. director seems to be the only decent authoring tool for 3d on the web at the moment(is there any other comparable one?) and authrign for dvds. because of my past as an audio engineer i am naturally interested in any audio disk techhnolgy and thereforem currently looking into dvd-audio as well as -video) and it seems that with all the back catalogue the content providers have of music and film, there is a huge amount director could and should snap up! this may not be the most interesting work, but then again live is what you make it! honestly, though, unless someone can refute the five-year death of CD-ROMs, i'm seriously considering leaving this field. hey - stick with it! cheers nik! maybe i should go back to IT... there's *tonnes* of IT work in Toronto these days. :P cheers, parker [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: lingo-l how can I exit the movie?
For historical reasons. Quit was in Lingo from the beginning. But people complained that executing quit when running in Director also quit Director. So, Macromedia, (being the nice folks that they are and not wanting to break any existing application where you might want the existing functionality), introduced the new keyword halt which does what developers really wanted.

RE: lingo-l how can I exit the movie?
Well, if I recall correctly, quit was always there, but took you all the way out. Halt used to originally literally halt the work, and the bug (at least back in v4), or feature, was that it just stopped everything, and didn't call stopMovie. Over the years, somewhere, it got to where it would also call stopMovie, and now they're basically the same, the only difference that quit throws you out of Director entirely and halt doesn't. As far as I'm concerned, quit is useless, now that we have halt. Of course, my favorite is 'shutdown', but that's another story... :) At 10:24 AM 6/13/01 -0400, Al Hospers wrote: What's the benefit?

RE: lingo-l how can I exit the movie?
But Al, there is no need to do this extra work. As Tab pointed out, the beauty of halt is that it does this check for you. At author-time, halt will just stop the movie and keep you in Director.

RE: lingo-l Cheking if a .dll file is in windows system
Then you could use the FileIO Xtra (which comes with Director) to get the windows folder, via the getOSDirectory() call. You could append on to get the system folder (generally the system folder is under the main Windows directory, but it doesn't have to be, or it could be something other than system, or the drivers could be in a subfolder), but once you know where you want to look, you can then use either the Lingo getNthFileNameInFolder() to iterate through the files looking for the one you want, or you could use FileIO to open it up for reading and see if you have an error or not (don't forget to close it!). It's not 100% effective - you may prefer BuddyAPI or something that can find the system folder for you (presuming that's where the drivers are). - Tab At 07:07 PM 6/13/01 +0200, Rafael Presedo wrote: From desktop [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: lingo-l Big Problem
buddy api xtras error is as below error message is : you have exceeded the number of licensed functions) That one is easy--you need to register Buddy API. You can use 2 Buddy functions for free, but beyond that, you have to register (and pay :-) You can register two ways--at runtime, with a Buddy call, or you can simply register your copy of Buddy using the directions that came with it (you did read the instructions, didn't you?) how can i remove this error please help me. The rest of the issues you describe tell me you have numerous problems. We can only guess, based on the information you gave us, what they might be. I almost never say this, and please don't take it wrong, but you need more help than we can give you on the List, Mitesh. The questions you ask and the problems you describe lead me to believe that you don't understand some very basic Director concepts, and some very basic programming concepts. You need to look on us as a source of help on specific problems, not as a vehicle for learning Director. I would recommend you take a course on Director, read some books, and make sure you understand the basic concepts. When you have specific questions, we're more than happy to help. Unfortunately, help my program is crashing doesn't give us much to go on. Don't go away--you're welcome here. But please try to post more specific questions.

Re: lingo-l Fonts- Win v/s mac: Help me ?
namaste, As Mr. Fiskeaux says, unless you have a compelling reason otherwise, the thing to do is to embed the fonts in the director movie. then you don't have to install the fonts on the system, you don't have to worry about which fonts are on the system. you still have to test cross-platform, of course, but i find embedded fonts to be pretty reliable. --bhakti [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi list, I am developing cross-platform cd (windows mac).I am installing font (eg.Verdana) in users machine by installation programme.

Can some one pass some info on this subject to me. I had a similar problem recently and found some examples but they were rather cumbersome so I came up with the following simple but effective solution to use an adjustable field. I also added a separate behaviour to hilight the text at the mouse position. As this is the first time I have felt able to give some help back for all the help I have had from the list someone will probably have a much better solution and may think this is a bit crude but it is simple and it worked for me so I hope it is of use to someone. global selectedItem property pLine property pClicked on mouseenter me pClicked = your default text member(field for dropdown).text = -- make sure boxtype is set to adjust member(field for dropdown).text = member(list to display as dropdown items).text selectedItem = pClicked end on mouseleave me member(field for dropdown).text = pClicked end on mouseUp me pline = pointtoline(sprite(the clickon), the mouseloc) pClicked = member(sprite(the clickon).membernum).line[pline] member(field for dropdown).text = pClicked selectedItem = pClicked end HTH Alan Robinson [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.
