RE: Controlling Flash Buttons?
Carl,
Why do it in lingo??
You could also set a "toggle" variable in your flash movie, check from
within and set your button accordingly.
You can then use getURL("lingo:") to set a var in director so that you'd
know wether it has been clicked or not.
//Make a movie clip, and use 2 frames, the first one an upstate (= button -
with overstate) and on the second frame a depressed state, then attach this
to your movie clip
onClipEvent (mouseUp)
{
if (depressed = 0)
{
depressed = 1;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
} else //dont know if you want to toggle
{
depressed = 0;
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
//you can use the buttons in the movie clip to put your stuff to do on.
//simple huh
HTH,
Chris.

Subject: Controlling Flash Buttons?
Dear List,
In D8. Cross-platform.
I have some .SWF members that are Flash buttons. Can I control them from
Lingo?
What I'd like to do is make it stick in the 'down' state when clicked.
I can play with the buttonsenabled property, and that's a start, but
setting the .frame doesn't finish the job, and nothing else seems
applicable.
Is this possible? Have I missed something? Or should I just have them as
straight Flash animations that I _can_ control with Lingo? I bet it's no
harder than trying to mess with the buttons on the fly.

RE: referring to the hard drive on a Mac
>Would getOSDirectory work? I think that's provided by FileIO. It returns the >path to the System Folder. That would give you the HDs name. That would give you one hard drive's name. The app might not be installed on the same hard drive as the system, though. I'm not sure what your objection is to using an Xtra, Kelly. It's virtually impossible to make a Director movie without Xtras--a lot of standard functions are handled by Xtras. Look in your Xtras folder and see things like the Flash Xtra, Mix Services, and Text Asset. If you don't want to *pay* for an Xtra, FileXtra3 is free, and Buddy API is free if you only use 2 functions. You could use Buddy to get the names of all the hard drives on the system, then use FileXtra3 (or Buddy) to see if the folder you're looking for exists on that drive. Although, back to your initial question, no, I don't believe that you can refer to a Mac hard drive except by name. There may be a gestalt you can use, but there again you need an Xtra, and gestalts are a lot more involved than standard Director calls. Get Buddy. You'll not regret it. In fact, you will find it so indispensable that you will likely end up buying it.

Re: Audio tracks question
If your STOP button sets whereto = "Go Loop", you could just move this line to the top of the case statement. Basically, since you want your STOP button's condition to rule, it needs to be the first condition of your case statement. - I added a new case "I Stopped" that will keep you on the same frame. Of course, your stop button would need to set the whereto variable = "I Stopped". I expect that your other buttons probably already set this variable to the other case conditions. hth -Buzz At 3:39 PM -0500 7/23/01, Craig Wehr wrote: >I have a small problem & I hoped someone out there can help. > >I have an audio player with multiple tracks, that when the song is done >playing, it automatically goes to the next frame with the new track.

RE: Problem with floaint points
Also, I note that in your prior "solution" you set the floatPrecision. The floatPrecision is for display purposes and doesn't affect the internal precision. Setting it to 1 or 10 doesn't affect the calculation, just the display of the results. - Tab At 02:55 PM 7/23/01 -0400, Jason Whiting wrote: >I like that one even better. thanks alot. > >-Jason > > > > >-Original Message- >From: Tab Julius [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 2:14 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' >Subject: Re: Problem with floaint points > > > >Since both operands are integers (that is, 1 is an integer, and the >duration is an integer), Director will perform integer math on it, and the >result will be an integer (in this case, 0). > >What you want to do is force it to do floating point math on it.

Re: Problem with floaint points
Since both operands are integers (that is, 1 is an integer, and the duration is an integer), Director will perform integer math on it, and the result will be an integer (in this case, 0). What you want to do is force it to do floating point math on it. Since one of your divisors is a constant (1) you can do it easily like so: cpart = ctime * (1.0/sprite(2).duration) (note how I made the 1 to be 1.0) Alternatively you could do float(1), although this is unnecessary if you can just tack a .0 on the end - it makes more sense when bother are variables.

Using a list to change the forecolor of lines in a fieldmember
Can anyone suggest a way of using a linear list to set the forecolor of lines in a field member. I have a field on the left where the user can hilite lines and then copy the contents of those lines to the field on the right. When an item appears on the right, it should appear grayed out on the left. I know that I can set the forecolor of those lines while copying the items to the right, the problem is that I'm using a parent script to get the hiliting of the fields to behave in the necessary manner and part of that parent script sets the forecolor of the entire field of 1500 items to 255. I'm thinking that I need to call a handler after that to then use a list of the lines that should appear gray to set only those lines to forecolor 7.

It's definitely possible, but the sytnax depends on what you mean by text
field. When dealing with chunks of text in #text members, use dot syntax.
For #field members, use verbose syntax.
-- #text member
member("textMember").char[32].font = "Arial"
-- #field member
set the font of char 32 of member("fieldMember") = "Arial"

[X-Post] ANNC: Amplitude Xtra 2.0 Released
Marmalade Multimedia is pleased to announce the release of the Amplitude Xtra 2.0 for Macromedia Director 7, 8 and 8.5. The Amplitude Xtra allows Director movies to receive amplitude values for sound cast members in real time as a sound is playing. These values represent the relative "loudness" of the sound and can be used to synchronize sound and vision in a variety of useful ways, including animating sprites, implementing lip-sync in animated characters or plotting waveforms and VU meters. The Amplitude Xtra: * is cross-platform, * works with Director 7, 8.0 and 8.5 * supports all common sound formats (including SWA and MP3), * works with internal and external sound cast members, * supports streaming Shockwave audio, * is Shockwave safe New Features -- Version 2.0 of the Amplitude Xtra contains the following new features: * support for multiple instances * support for stereo sounds * amplitude values returned as xtra property values * improved error reporting * numerous bug fixes The User Guide has been revised and expanded to include new information concerning common issues that arise when using the Amplitude Xtra. A new Demonstration movie is available from the website address given below. Pricing - Version 2.0 of the Amplitude Xtra is reasonably priced at $US75 for a single-user license. This includes the Windows and Macintosh xtras, Windows and Macintosh Shockwave xtra packages, the Amplitude Generator utility and complete documentation. Once registered the Amplitude xtra can be used in shipping products, the unregistered xtra is functional within Director. Upgrades -- The upgrade to version 2.0 of the Amplitude Xtra is free for registered users of version 1.x of the xtra. More Info... - For more information and to download 2.0 of the Amplitude Xtra please go to, http://www.marmalademedia.com.au/amplitude.htm The User Guide for version 2.0 is available at, http://www.marmalademedia.com.au/amp_guide/amplitude_guide.htm ___ Mark Martin http://www.marmalademedia.com.au ___ ___ Marmalade Multimedia ___ ___ Canberra, Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ___ ___ ___ Check out the Amplitude xtra for Macromedia Director ___ ___http://www.marmalademedia.com.au/amplitude.htm___ ___ and FlashAmp...___ ___ http://www.marmalademedia.com.au/flashamp/ ___ [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.

Saving bitmaps to the server from shockwave
Hi list, I want to make a shockwave movie that allows the user to draw a picture (a bitmap) and then save that picture to the web server as a GIF image. A separate gallery page will then display all the drawings. There are a couple of bitmap export Xtras around, but they are all aimed at use with projectors and can only save images to the client, not the server. So the only solution I can think of is to read the bitmap pixel by pixel (using getPixel) and post the data back to an ASP script on the server (using postNetText). Then I can use server side scripting to generate the GIF file on the server. The problem with this solution is that reading the image pixel by pixel and posting the data to the server is slow. Has anyone done this kind of thing before? Or can anyone see a better way to do it, or problems with my solution? Any help anyone could give would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Nick [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mode4.net [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.

reposition stage assets
hi list, i am working on a cd-rom whereit is required to resize the stage according to the resolution o fthe users monitor. i am doing this by opening a stub projector that then opens a miaw with the size of the stage. then i set all the sprites locs to percentages of the overall height and width. a bit tedious to st up butit works beautifully. i should also metion that the cd-rom i am working on is a version 2 (an update), where this resizing feature ahs been added now and was not part of the original specification. this left me with a full score of sprites with many properties set in the score itself (blend, etc.). only the loc is being maipulated with lingo. one problem though: the only way this works smoothly so far is by having the positions of the sprites updated in an 'exitFrame' script that is a movie script (type -wise). this is a bit heavy handed as it updates all the sprites all the time, which is not really necessary. is there a way to only update the positins of a sprite once with lingo and then for all time thereafter the sprite will sit at this location (without using puppeting as i then would have to set all the other properties e.g. blend in lingi as well; these are all nicely written into the score) i am thinking of using beginsprite ? but how, any ideas?# kind thanks, ciao nik crosina [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: strange thing in the property window
Sounds odd, your property insp. should look sonething like this: __ l _l l l l l-Member - Film loop - Cast- l ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll Click the Film loop tab.. Or try and make a new film loop. Or even better... take control of the animation via Lingo! I always prefer that it is not that much of a bother, create a list of the pictures to animate, and then swich between the members by counting ticks. optionally also create a list with the interval of the 'image swiching'.

Re: mission impossible!
I'm also a graphic designer and during my last year at college I went to England (I'm from belgium) to study director for about three months. And now I'm a full programmer in director (and graphic design). So you see to learn lingo is not that hard. It's even a very easy language to learn however there are always things to program in lingo that are hard. I experienced that the best way to learn lingo is to develop a little game like packman or tetris. Try that and you will see that when your game has finished your a whole lot furhter. Good luck with it. By the way to the swedish people. Any tips of companies who wants lingo programmers?

Font issue
Hi List, Long time ago :-) I have the following problem: I am making a program in 12 languishes. The problem I encountered was that i had to use a differed font for the Greek languish because it has special characters. The problem is that in this font the EURO-sign is not supported so I want to do a query in the text for the symbol that UB-Helvetica uses for the EURO-sign end change the font for this character to Arial. Is it possible to change the font for just one character in a text field? if NOT can I copy a EURO-sign from another castmember were it is in the right font (Arial) and copy it into the textcastmember and then it keeps the settings of that specific character? I hope that somebody has a solution. T.I.A.

Your mission is not as impossible as you think :) I started working in a multimedia company as a junior graphic artist 3.5 years ago, with a degree in Journalism and a year's course in Computer Graphics/DTP. Nothing to do with Lingo, nothing to do with Director, absolutely no experience with programming. Now I'm the lead Lingo programmer for the same company.

book
Hi there! is there anyone who can recommend me a very good beginner lingo book with projects to do in it? I can´t wait to know...:-) Thanks in advance.. /pascal [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: mission impossible!
Well then go ahead and do it. I can't recommend a book for beginners, since I did all learning by doing, but I guess other people on the list can. About your project: generally, things can be done in many ways in lingo, so that it should be no problem to realize a quite "simple" application with simple lingo. Your code does not need to be perfectly styled, objectorientated or world-class. It only has to work. That's it. And that can be done in about 2 or 3 months. The list will help You. If you need help, feel free to contact me directly. regards, Florian Pascal Deraed wrote: > > wow Florian! thanks for your answer. I was starting to loose a lot of my > self-confidence > about it.
