Re: lingo-l Cast behaviour's icon
Hi, Read this To create a custom cast member thumbnail: 1 Select the bitmap image to use as the new thumbnail and copy it to your systems clipboard. You can copy the image from any bitmap editor, including the Paint window. The image can be of any size, but smaller images look better because they require less scaling. 2 Using Thumbnail view, place the pointer over the cast member for which you are creating a custom thumbnail. 3 Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) and choose Paste Bitmap from the context menu. The image from the clipboard replaces the current cast member thumbnail. You can also use text as a thumbnail. Select text instead of a bitmap image in step 1, and then choose Paste Text from the context menu.

You might actually want to look at php instead - pretty simple. Then if you have something like entry.php?name=bob Then that variable name will actually be seen by the php page itself, so that if you have 'name' in your php and for the shockwave embed (ie embed src=movie.dcr param1=name) then that variable will be passed to the shockwave.

RE: lingo-l IVR presentation
I've been using DirectXtras XtrAgent which takes advantage of Microsoft's speech recognition and agent technologies to build accessible apps for the vision impaired. You can use XtrAgent to build speech navigation into your presentation. You can't detect if a mic is connected on using a Windows PC (if I'm wrong tell me how to do it!) You *can* do this on the Mac. If memory serves correctly the excellent Audio Xtra from updateStage provides a method for checking to see if a mic is connected to a mac. On a Windows PC you can, at the very least, retrieve input level at the mic input. There was a long thread not to long ago about removing the stage border from your projector. I suggest you check the Lingo-L archives for that.

RE: lingo-l Retrieving HTML parameters from URL
Umm. According to the documentation QUOTE Syntax member(whichCastMember).URL the URL of member whichCastMember Description Cast member property; specifies the URL for Shockwave Audio (SWA) and Flash movie cast members. For Flash movie members, this property is synonymous with the pathName member property. The URL property can be tested and set. For SWA members, it can be set only when the SWA streaming cast member is stopped. Example This statement makes a file on an Internet server the URL for SWA cast member Benny Goodman: on mouseDown member(Benny Goodman).URL = http://audio.macromedia.com/samples/classic.swa; end /QUOTE The Url property is only applicable for SWA and Flash members, whereas I need the URL, which is in the Browser's adress box when the SW game is being loaded.

Thanks Marks for your explaination. I've gotten as far as the third from last paragraph and everything is working well. Although I was wondering, how would you go about handling the scrolling of the hiliter sprite since one of the fields has over one thousand lines? Thanks again, Gene Mark R. Jonkman [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/19/01 04:26PM Hi Gene What you are asking is entirely possible. Several ways to do it perhaps the simplest is to use a field and a quickdraw shape member. My approach would be to set the shape (which would be dark blue, in a sprite channel below (lower in number) then the field sprite. Set the field sprite to non wordwrap - extended lines would be cut off. Create 2 behaviours and tell each behaviour via the gpdl or hardcoded what the spriteNum is of the other sprite (for communication purposes). Set the hiliter to the width of the field sprite and the height of the lineHeight of the field sprite. Assuming that you would either start it with hilite set to first line you would position your hilite sprite to the exact same loc as the field members loc. You would set the forecolor of line(1) of field(somefield) to x x being whatever white's index value is - to brain dead to remember .. either 0 or 255 The field will need to be background transparent. That sets your initial condition. On mouseDown on the field, you look for the mouseLine, to a linePosToLocV to gets its vertical drop from the top of the field, set the hilite sprite's loc to the locH of the field and the locV of the field + the linePosToLocV, set the mouseLine 's forecolor to white. And set the previous hilited line to black if it wasn't sent over to the other side. You will need to store the current hilited line (1 on initialization) into a property variable. Assuming you know the gray color that you will use (again index value), whenever you select a line to move to the other side, you would set the forecolor of that line to gray and on each mouseDown, you simply check the forecolor of the mouseline and make sure it aint the gray color's index value before you move the hiliter or set the property variable containing the line number. You might put an accessor mtethod into your field behaviour so that your buttons can call it and request the active line number and set the line to gray etc...

Hello List, I've been putting off this part of my project because I don't know if it's even possible, but now it's time to give it my best shot. I have two fields on a screen (1 on left, 1 on right) with four buttons in between. The field on the left is populated with various geographical V12 database files. The user needs to be able to select geographies from the left and move them to the field on the right which displays selected geographies. The ways in which a user can select geographies are as follows:1; When they click on a geography, the entire line needs to hilite (the hiliter bar needs to be dark blue and the text changes to white- this is important because it emulates the actual software package for which this project is a CBT). They need to be able to SHIFT click to select a range, and CONTROL click to select multiple non-contiguous geographies. When the items appear hilited on the left, the user can click on the Select button in the middle to move he selected geographies! t! o the field on the right. When an items appears on the right, it becomes grayed-out on the left and can no longer be clicked on. The 4 buttons in the center are Select, Select All, De-select, and De-select All. 2: The user can double-click on an item on the left and it should be copied to the right and again, grayed-out on the left. 3: The user can click on one or more geographies on the left, and while they appear hilited, be able to drag they to the right. Again, any geographies on the right should appear grayed-out on the left and no longer selectable. So what do you think? Is this even possible?

RE: Thanks Mark!! lingo-l Is this type of hiliting selecting possible?
Hi Gene If you do scroll by line and hide the hiliter sprite while the hilited line is not visible would be my first choice. If that is not possible, then you need to be prepared to monitor the position and height of the line in question and collapse the hiliter to a height of 1, or have a bitmap piece of the background immediately above and below the the field so that the hiliter can slide under it. Therefore your scroll parameter for your hilite would be the field.loc - the lineheight and the field.loc + the field's height + the lineheight. You would also need to refresh yourself on whether the linePosToLocV represents the line position from the top of the member at all times, in which case then you mathematically have to calculate the position of the hiliter based on the linePosToLocV - the scrolltop of the field sprite... or some other wierd variation thereof. My preference would for simplicity be to collapse down the hiliter to a height of 1 then replace it with a blank bitmap sprite that contains no data unless of course a shape can collapse down to a rect of (0,0,width,0) without causing any problems. Just some of the top of my head ideas.. haven't thought long and hard about it. Sincerely Mark R.

Lists are a powerful and fast way to manage all kinds of information in Director. Since lists can hold Director`s rich media and data types they are the natural solution for creating Director databases, yet few developers use them this way. Why? Because saving and retrieving lists at runtime using Director`s built-in string() and value() methods is slow and limited. vList Xtra offers the following advantages over Director`s own list saving methods: * RELIABILITY: vList correctly retrieves lists regardless of the data content. Director`s value() function is tripped up by certain list content and may not be able to rebuild a list saved as a string. * STRONG ENCRYPTION: vList Xtra offers optional encryption of a stored list using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption , the standard for secret-key encrypted transfer of unclassified information recently adopted by NIST, the US National Institute of Standards, as a replacement for DES. Encryption can protect sensitive data as well as cast member media that is expensive to produce such as the new 3D cast members in Director 8.5. * INTERNET FEATURES: vList can save data to the user`s local drive from Shockwave , convert data to Base64 strings for transmission to web servers using postNetText, and it can load vList files from the local hard drive or from remote URL`s using preloadnetthing. * PERFORMANCE: vList, unlike Director`s value() function, preserves the sorted state of a saved list when it is retrieved, eliminating the time hit to do a resort upon restoration of the list, and therefore greatly speeding up any subsequent search of the list * FLEXIBILITY: vList Xtra was designed to store lists, but you can use a vList file or vList member to store any supported data type without first writing it to a list. * MORE DATA TYPES: vList can read and write the following data types, which are not supported by the Lingo value command: member.media member.picture image (Director 8 and above) transform (Director 8.5 and above) void The media property of a member saved by vList is completely independent of the cast member it came from. You can use this feature to extract members from one movie and recreate them in another. * SIZE: The list size vList can work with is limited only by available memory. Director`s value() function is limited to 32,767 entries for a linear list and 16,383 for a property list * BINARY FORMAT: vList saves lists and other data types in their native binary format rather than converting them to and from text. Since no conversion of the data is necessary, vList is up to 20 times faster than Director`s value() method, allows lists to be retrieved in a sorted state, and preserves floating point numbers to their full precision. In addition to saving and retrieving lists and other data types, vList offers several new commands for managing lists. * aList = concatenate (list1, list2, .., listN) * sortedState = sortP (aList) * unSort (aList) * setPropAt (aPropList, index, property) * insertAt (aList, index, value) * insertPropAt (aPropList, index, property, value) * appendProp (aPropList, property, value) -- PRICING -- There are three registration options: Limitedfree Basic $149 Full $299 LIMITED *** In Limited mode a small set of vList commands are free to use and do not display a demonstration dialog. The free commands allow you to save a list to a file and retrieve it in authoring and from a projector but not in Shockwave. BASIC * Basic registration unlocks all of the vList commands and capabilities except for encryption. Under basic registration you can: - Create and use members for list storage - Access vList`s extended Lingo list management commands such as concatenate, insertAt, sortP etc. - Read and save lists to local external files in Shockwave, or MIMEBase64 encode them for transmission using postNetText - Read vList files downloaded to the internet cache FULL Full registration unlocks encryption. -- PRODUCT PAGE AND DOWNLOAD -- http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/vlist.html [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.

lingo-l the text of the frame script
I can't find out how to refer to the text of the frame script. script(frameLabel).scriptText?? Help, anyone? Thanks!

Re: lingo-l the text of the frame script
I can't imagine why you would want this. But assuming that you have a good reason - here's an untested approach ... The frame script channel is zero. So first you get the scriptInstanceList of sprite 0 lBehaviors = sprite(0)scriptInstanceList This returns a list, but frame scripts only have one element so thisBehaviorInstance = lBehavior[1] This is a behavior reference like offspring Go to the frame 1 5c77710 so, get the second item (You might have to fiddle with the itemdelimiter here or parse out the thing inside quotes) thisBehaviorName = item 2 of string(thisBehaviorInstance) Now get the text of that member theText = member(thisBehaviorName).scriptText What you do with that is beyond my imagination. There is probably an easier way to do what you really want to do than this. For example, setting some property variable which could be queried later via: sendSprite (sendSprite, 0, #mGetSomePropertyVariable) And have the frame have an mGetSomePropertyVariable to return whatever it is that you are looking for.

Re: lingo-l the text of the frame script
Thanks, Irv! I didn't know that the frame script channel was channel 0, that really helps. However, if I only wanted to learn the text of the script of the current frame, I could use the frameScript. But I need a way to get the text of the script of frame MyFrame, not just the current frame. As to why I would want to do this, here it is: Some of my frames are redirectors; the frame script forwards the playhead somewhere else. Other frames (those whose scripts have the go to the frame line) are valid in themselves as parts of the app. I want to make a stack of frame numbers or labels that would include the looping frames, but exclude the redirectors. Then I can give the user Next and Prev buttons for paging through this stack, i.e. through the real content frames. What better way to do that than by testing the frame script for the presence of go to the frame? But for that, I need to be able to say: MyStack = [] repeat with i = (the labelList).line.count down to 1 if the script of frame i contains go to the frame then MyStack.append((the labelList).line[i]) end repeat My probelm is how to say the script of frame i.

Re: lingo-l the text of the frame script
Is there some reason you can't just use markers? Put a marker on each frame you have as a stopping point, and then use go next or go previous to do the navigation.
