Creating little html table in Director
Hi, Guys... I am new to this list... I'm glad to know of this one... :) I have a little routine that creates a html table... I was able to create one with all same width in all columns with this code... html = "" repeat with i = 0 to gDatabase[1].count put ""&getPropAt(gDatabase[1],i)&"" after html end repeat put "" after html Say that I have 5 columns in my table and I want them to be 10%, 20%, 20%, 30%, and 20% for each columns... So... I tried the previous code with multiple if statements and following statement... and got errors... put ""&getPropAt(gDatabase[1],i) &"" after html What am I doing wrong???

PS to "does this crash make sense?"
I guess it may also be relevant that the text is displayed in an embedded font and is antialiased (it has to be). Kerning is off. Ink is Copy. The earlier post follows, unchanged: I've traced my projector crashes to this stripped-down script: --script in a text member sprite on mouseDown me MouseWord = sprite(me.spriteNum).pointToWord(the mouseLoc) if MouseWord = -1 then pass sprite(me.spriteNum).member.word[MouseWord].color =rgb(138, 16, 8) updateStage pass end mouseDown on mouseUp me sprite(me.spriteNum).member.color = rgb(0, 0, 0) pass end mouseUp This stripped-down script highlights the clicked word while the mosue is down. When it is executed about 30 times in a row (not with unreasonably fast mouseclicks, i.e. waiting long enough to see the color change after each click), the projector crashes. This is a D8 projector, on a G4 w/350 MHz chip and 256 MB RAM, under Mac OS 9.04. The text member has only about 500 characters, but there's a noticeable delay before the color changes after the mouseclick. This happens with many text members in the same movie. Has this been noted before? Do these crashes make sense? If so, is there a workaround? Thanks!

I posted something similar earlier this month, but got no replies. FYI, here it goes again (and sorry again for the length): SUMMARY: setting member.word[n].color OR word[n].foreColor is MUCH slower on Win 9x variants than Win 2K. BACKGROUND: I've been working on a (windows-only) application. In one section of this, the user is required to click on words in a text member. This text member contains around 125 words. I have been changing the color of the word clicked to provide instant visual feedback that they did indeed click that particular word. PROBLEM: dynamically changing the color to an rgb color, or the foreColor using a paletteIndex color, is fine on my development machine - Windows 2000 Professional SP2. When I run the same movie on Win 98 SE2 or Win ME, changing the word color takes a massive time hit after a few words are quickly clicked. Running the text with "copy" ink or directToStage or "saveBitmap" or whatever variation I've tried makes no difference. RESEARCH: I've trolled the direct-l archives, updateStage's quirk-list and MM's technote section and found nothing relating to this. There are a couple of threads from direct-l relating to an apparent limit on setting the color of words past ~word[240]. DUPLICATION: create an empty movie, loop it on a frame, create a text member and put a bunch of words into it - 20 or so should demonstrate the problem. Drop the following behavior onto the text sprite: -- property pSprite property pMember on beginSprite me pSprite = sprite(me.spriteNum) pMember = pSprite.member end on mouseDown me sMillis = the milliseconds cLoc = the clickLoc tWord = pSprite.pointToWord( cLoc ) -- the offending line of code: pMember.word[tWord].color = rgb(255, 0, 0) elapsed = the milliseconds - sMillis put "#mouseDown: elapsed =" && elapsed end on endSprite me pMember.color = rgb(0,0,0) end -- Run the movie, click on each word *as quickly as possible* and check your message window for timing results. Comment out 'the offending line of code' and click again. RESULTS: on my machine (Win 2k Pro sp2) I get: -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 19" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 10" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 12" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 15" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 18" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 21" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 24" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 27" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 30" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 34" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 37" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 40" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 42" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 46" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 49" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 53" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 55" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 59" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 62" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 64" on a machine with Win 98 SE I get: -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 29" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 59" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 67" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 106" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 108" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 157" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 180" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 173" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 196" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 216" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 215" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 243" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 267" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 283" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 325" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 364" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 409" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 400" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 390" -- "#mouseDown: elapsed = 430" They both appear to slow as a general trend, but for Win 98 alarmingly so! This holds for Win ME also. I realize that cpu speed and RAM probably have an impact also, but having tried 2x Win 2K and 3x Win 98/1x Win ME systems it holds true that the Win 9x variants slow to a crawl while the Win 2K systems are (acceptably) fast enough not to notice a lag while clicking/changing color. I have tried this with D8 and D8.5 and there is no perceivable difference - ie. the trend holds. I have tested on a machine that dual-boots to Win ME and Win 2K and it behaves as described; so it's not (only) RAM, CPU and video card differences. Totally untested on any Mac systems, or Win 95. REQUEST: Would anyone care to confirm this? Feel free to mail me directly, or return results to the list. It would be especially useful if someone could try Win NT as I no longer have access to a machine running Winnt. I'm wondering if this speed difference behaves on Winnt as a Win 9x variant, or as on Win 2K. Most interesting would be if it behaved like Win 2K, as this would suggest it was related to how the OS handles text rendering. WORKAROUND: for D8 and above: use imaging lingo and copyPixels() (to the stage) a highlight over the word clicked. D7.02: use a series of off-stage shape sprites with add/lighten/(insert approprite inkType) and move
Re: Screen capture
All that is ok, but I found a funny thing happening while I tried to
capture the stage.
If the size of the stage is changed, (the stage).image continues to return
an image whose size is the same as the original stage width and height.
Changing the size, saving the movie and restarting Director is what makes
Director report the new size. Maybe Gretchen should know of this...
I've tried this on Director 8 with WinNT SP6
Can someone check it out on 8.5 and with other OS's?

You can use imaging Lingo :
set OnScreenImageWidth to 640
set OnScreenImageHeight to 480
OnScreenImage = image(OnScreenImageWidth, OnScreenImageHeight, 16)
OnScreenImage.copyPixels((the stage).image, OnScreenImage.rect,
rect(0,0,640,480))
member("imageCapture").image = OnScreenImage

Peter Small had some errors in his book and put an errata sheet on his website.

Don't really know what your point is. Are you saying that it's acceptable to ensure your paycheck by working on illegal copies of your tools? In the end, Kerry's absolutely right. You can justify it all you want, but using illegal copies of software is wrong. You know it's wrong. Whether or not that makes you a "bad" person, I don't know - you decide for yourself. But the issue is not gray, it's pretty black and white - accept the license agreement, or don't use the software. If the company is "uncomfortable" to work for, then you have to ask yourself whether it's worth getting tainted by their filth. An aside, for Buzz and the other good folks who bring us Director. When I went looking for my software license agreement in order to verify that my memory of "no stubs" was accurate, I couldn't find it. There's nothing in my Dir app folder, and several searches of the MACR site turned up nada. I didn't feel like reinstalling Dir just to print the license agreement (especially since I'm a longtime Dir user, and just LOVE having to enter two serial numbers both in the installer and then when I launch the app for the first time... what's up with that?).

RE: set cursor to field?
Alternatively, change the order that the fields are placed on the stage... The field that you want to gain focus first on entering the frame should be in the sprite channel with the lowest channel number and the next one, the next higher channel number, etc... The keyboardfocussprite will also work, but it can leave a visual ugliness as the cursor might be in say the second field then jump unexplainable to the first field unless you have them in order according to sprite channel.

MUI question - coding a file selection dialog
Folks... I'd like your advice on a small design issue: I'm working on a director app that requires the user to select a large number of HTML files and do a little bit of organization with those files: the usual stuff: add, remove, move up, move down before clicking "Done" to send all of the file name info to an external file for processing and creation of an XML file. What is the most elegant way to approach creation of the file selection dialog? (for an example think of Director's "Import" dialog) My first solution involved a WindowsOS "Open Multiple" dialog, an editable field for selection and display and some lists to hold items and remove them or move them up or down. Does this seem like a solid approach? Should I be using arrays?... something else?

Re: Sprite Movement
I think this is what is happening... - If it is less than the destination you add to it, and then see if you added too much, in which case you try to set it to the final location. - Eventually you will get to the destination. The locH will be equal to the destination. - Since it is EQUAL, it will fail the first 'if', which sees if it is <. - Since it failed, it will go to your unconditional else, which automatically adds some pixels on. Remember that you are ALREADY at the destination so you don't want to add pixels, but you are. - The next line checks to see if you are <= the destination (which you are not, since you were adding). It might have corrected, but it won't, since you are past the destination already. You could probably correct this by changing the unconditional else to be a: else if (sprite(me.spritenum).loch > pDestination) which means that if it's < then you add, and if it's > then you subtract, but if it's = then you leave it alone.

Debugging OOPs in lingo with Director 5
I am tring to learn OOPS programing using Peter Small's LINGO SORCERY copywrite 1996. In the 2nd chapter there is a demonstration where you start in a movie called "workshop" that has the parent script and a button to make a object called "virus". You then go to a movie called "isolated" where you have a button called "move around" when it is clicked on it goes to a movie called "host" where it replaces a sprite on the stage with the "virus" object and moves it around the stage. I had a problem with it and could not figure out how to debugg it. If i put a breakpoint back in the parentscript in the 1st movie it was never tripped. even after I got it to work it would not trip it. Is there a way to step through a parent script to debug it when you are not in the movie that contains it?

AutoCropper utility
Hey all - There's been some talk of such things recently, so I thought I'd point out that I've got a movie script utility for automatically cropping image sequences against a reference image based on how they differ. This also uses Werner Sharp's technique of the imaging lingo 'reverse' ink trick, to great effect. :) It can be had at http://www.invisiblethreads.com/lingo/autocropper/index.html It requires Director 8 because of Imaging Lingo. It assumes the images to be cropped are already imported and that the reference image is also imported (in the same castlib) - see the comments at the beginning of the script for info. It is NOT a MIAW tool (at this point anyways), and works simply by selecting the reference image and sequence in the castlib, then running the script from the message window - short and sweet.. enjoy!

Tab... Except, note that (on Windows at least) the messageWindow (at runtime) doesn't seem to work in 8.5 the way it did with 8.0. Never had a problem under 8.0 - 8.5 seems to be a different story. There is no messageWindow line in the 8.5 "director.ini" file and adding messageWindow to your "projector.ini" does not produce any result at all. I've just been informed that in 8.5 I should set the debugPlaybackEnabled property to TRUE to display the messageWindow with a projector or Shockwave - Director online help says the same.

Re: Debugging OOPs in lingo with Director 5
I'm not familiar with either the book or the example, but by "not in the movie" you mean you are running a movie in a window, then the answer is no, you cannot debug a movie in a window (MIAW). If you mean that you transfered (using 'go to movie') to another movie, then you physically can't be running a script in the movie you came from, so I don't know what you're talking about in that case. However from the description I almost wonder if you simply mean, go to a movie script. ??

You do have good logic, but this whole issue was a little new to me, since MACR used to have stubs available on their site, and MACR people used to post that it was OK on Direct-L. MACR's policy has changed, it makes sense, but don't take it too personally when people wonder about other methods. Sure, you can make someone else a "product" that's just a stub...assuming you comply with the MACR licensing agreement and include a 4 second MACR logo in your stub. Most of us who've done any development realize you NEED the other platform copy to debug and work on that platform...I suspect that many people looking for a mac-stub probably don't even have a Mac computer. And finally, I've just changed jobs, and for the first time in my 5+ years of MACR programming, I have legitimate copies of all the software on my machine and none of them are being "stretched" between multiple machines. Director, the OS, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, etc. The last job I had, in the US, the salesguy said "get the sound from Eye4U.com". I said "I tried, but they haven't responded to my email." "No, I think and just want you to capture it." said . "Uh...you can't do that!" quoth I. "Sure you canjust hold the microphone up to the speaker," said . "You can't do that" I said. "Oh yeah, the soundcard won't play and record. Here, let me help push this computer closer so you can capture from a second computer." I ended up holding out and the client ended up buying music for the project (or reusing music they already had the rights to (but who knows if they had unlimited rights?)). Eventually I convinced this company to buy A copy of SOME of the software everyone was using, and now, almost all the employees are working under valid work-visas. I'm certainly not saying it's right, just realize what some people running shoddy companies that are uncomfortable to work for are doing. Coming across with a little more legal, educational rant would probably help more than just the moral or group-altruism rant. "It's the only legal way, now." not "You're a bad person and you're endangering our livelihood." Trust me, fired the accountant out of the blue and caused the secretary to quit by asking her to not share the financial numbers with the guy who bought the company...he really doesn't care a lot about whether MACR's existence is solid to make your paycheck stable. roymeo - Roy Crisman [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: Checking parameters
Enrique, When a behavior is dropped onto a sprite, getPropertyDescriptionList is called 2 times. The first, to initialize to default values, and then again to display the dialog. This is why your checkParams is called immediately after it is attached to your sprite. As far as I know, getPropertyDescriptionList does not allow much in the way of data validation. You could try forcing users to enter valid data by using things like sliders, checkboxes, and the #range property. Or, if you are feeling a bit daring you could look into the runPropertyDialog handler and try to cook up your own forms for user input. However, this could be more trouble than it is worth. What exactly are you trying to validate anyway? Maybe there is a way to force users only to enter proper data. Brian Romanko Lead Developer - Neo/SCI Corporation Member - Greater Rochester Macromedia User Group -Original Message- Hello again, I'm posting again my question. I would like to check some parameters that a behavior gets through a getPropertyDescriptionList. What I did is create a handler called checkParams and placed it inside the behavior. I call checkParams right before the return of the getPropertyDescriptionList, after all the addProp. My problem is that checkParams is called immediately after the behavior is attached to the sprite, before I had any chance to enter the values of the parameters. How can I get Lingo to call checkParam after one clicks on the OK button of the parameter dialog? Did I make myself clear?

Re: Checking parameters
>How can I get Lingo to call checkParam after one clicks on the OK button >of the parameter dialog? I think you need to take it out of the getPropertyDescriptionList handler. Can you do it on beginSprite, or possibly call it from the message window with sendSprite? The program would have to be running for sendSprite to work, of course. Or is there another way around it? Can you use the #range property to filter properties? Something like this: on getPropertyDescriptionList suitableSound = GetSuitableMembers([#sound]) p_list = [#pMySound: [#comment: "Sound:", #format: #member, #range: suitableSound, #default: whatever]] return p_list end Cordially, Kerry Thompson [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: Checking parameters
Hi Enrique the quick and dirty answer is that you can't The GPDL is basically a MUI call, it parses the GPDL passes the list to a specialized instance of MUI or an equivalent.. and generates the dialogue that you see.. end of connection to the gpdl handler. After that all work is done in the depths of director and is not reacheable by us mere mortals except that you can check the illegal parameters on a beginSprite event at runtime or in authoring.

Detecting Write permission error in Lingo
Hello list,
There is an error I want to trap before it's spitted out to my end user
(questions at the bottom of email) :
If you try to define a DrawRect To a MIAW and that Movie in this MIAW is
opened with Write permission you get the error (this error is from window i
guess) : "Unable to open file [...filepath...] because it is already open
with write permission by another user".
Then on the next instruction to the MIAW you get the error : "Object
Expected" Or "Property not found".
Demonstration :
Global wMap, gMapWidth, gMapHeight
wMap = Window("Map1.dir")
wMap.DrawRect = Rect(0,0, gMapWidth,gMapHeight)
-- Right after the DrawRect we get the first error
wMap.Windowtype = 2
-- Then here we get the property not found
Open wMap
wMap.MoveToFront()
I manage to trap the second erreor by doing this test :
If wMap <> VOID Then
wMap.Windowtype = 2
Open wMap
wMap.MoveToFront()
End If
But I still get the first error (The Write permission one)... Is there any
way to trap it before the user see it ?
I'm new to Lingo but I code since a little time now, I havent seen any Error

Repeating through records in a V12DBE to populate a field
Hi List, 'm creating a geography selection screen and there are 5 different geography hierarchy levels (NATIONAL (which is the highest level), ZONE (there are 15 zones, so ZONE.V12 has 15 records), REGION (there are 24 regions, so REGION.V12 has 24 records), MARKET (there are 118 markets, MARKET.V12 has 118 records) and ACCOUNT (there are 1500+ accounts, ACCOUNT.V12 has 1500+ records). I'm displaying two fields in a director movie. I'm populating the field on the left with one of four V12DBE files, based on the geography hierarchy level. The field on the right displays the geographies selected by the user. There are also spinner buttons which allow the user to drill up or down to the next geography hierarchy level. Here's an example: National includes all geographies, so we'll start at the ZONE level. Say the user selects the EAST ZONE and then clicks on the drill-down spinner button, what needs to happen is, the field on the right needs to display all the REGIONS (which is the n! ext level down) within the EAST ZONE. so the field should then display New York Region, New England Region, Mid-Atlantic Region and Great Lakes Region. If the user clicks on the drill down button again, the field on the right should then display all the MARKETS (which is the next level down) with those 4 REGIONS. There are 7 MARKETS within those 4 REGIONS. The V12 DBE files are designed with 2 fields to help in this process. There is a GEOKEY field (which is a unique identifier) and a PARENT01 field. The GEOKEY record for EAST ZONE is 2, the PARENT01 record for EAST ZONE is 1, because the only level higher than ZONE is NATIONAL which includes all geographies. All the REGIONS which belong to the EAST ZONE have a PARENT01 record of 2. So when the drill-down button is click, I need to repeat through all the REGION.v12 records to find all with PARENT01 of 2 and put those REGIONS into the field on the right, and so on etc. I'm not quite sure where to start. Should I have 4 di! fferent V12 files or should there be 4 TABLES within 1 V12D! BE file repeat loop which searches the PARENT01 records look like?

Re: put... before fonction HELP!!
From your post, it's unclear what you are checking, and what you
assigning, but I'll give you a general idea using a Lingo list
(untested):
on BuildString theEndingWord, theWordListIn
stringOut = ""
repeat with thisWord in theWordListIn
if thisWord = "yes" then
stringOut = stringOut & "1"
else
stringOut = stringOut & "0"
end if
end repeat
stringOut = stringOut & theEndingWord
return stringOut
end
And you would call it like this:
someVariable = BuildString("help", ["yes", "no", "yes", ... ])
Or if you already have your data in global variables and want to keep
it that way:
someVariable = BuildString("help", [toto, toto2, toto3, ... ]]

Re: message window question
Sure. You will need a .INI file of the same name as the projector in the same folder as the projector. So, if your projector is SIMON.EXE then you will need (if you don't have one already) a file called SIMON.INI This is a text file, and you can edit it with Notepad (or SimpleText if Mac). If you have an existing one, just amend it, otherwise create a new file, or copy over the DIRECTOR.INI from the Director folder and rename it, then edit it. Make a section that looks like this (put it at the end of the file, or the very top, to simplify things): [Settings] MessageWindow=1 FullScreen=0 UseTitleBar=1 And that should bring it up. The FullScreen and UseTitleBar are only necessary if you have a full-screen projector to begin with, otherwise just do the MessageWindow line. - Tab At 12:21 PM 7/25/01 -0400, Allard, Simon wrote: >Hi all, > >Is it possible to create the "message window" of Director for a projector. >My project work fine in Director but when I create the projector it quit for >no reason, so I want to find out where the problem is. > >Thanx [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: Screen capture
You can use imaging Lingo :
set OnScreenImageWidth to 640
set OnScreenImageHeight to 480
OnScreenImage = image(OnScreenImageWidth, OnScreenImageHeight, 16)
OnScreenImage.copyPixels((the stage).image, OnScreenImage.rect,
rect(0,0,640,480))
member("imageCapture").image = OnScreenImage

Re: mac stub dir 8.5

RE: Font issue
Hi Nikaj, I had to do a similar thing some time ago because a client requested that multiplication symbols not be simple 'x' characters, but rather small centered x's only available in the PC Symbol font. Basically, it looked for a specific character (in this case, numToChar(215)), and changed the font on that character. You could store all of your Euro symbols as a special string such as '€' and then replace the '€' with the corresponding letter in your font, and then change the font. I spent all of 5 minutes slapping together this script, and although it would probably be bettew written looping in reverse, this should be modifiable to do the trick for you. On ConvertChar(castMember) -- Check for multiplication signs mLoc = offset(numToChar(215), member(castMember).text) mLocLast = 1 repeat while mLoc > mLocLast member(castMember).char[mLoc].font = "Symbol *" mLocLast = mLoc mLoc = offset(numToChar(215), member(castMember).char[mLocLast + 1..member castMember).text.length]) mLoc = mLoc + mLocLast end repeat End HTH Brian Romanko Lead Developer - Neo/SCI Corporation Member - Greater Rochester Macromedia User Group -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Nikaj Wiggers Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 7:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 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.

Re: mac stub dir 8.5
Actually Florian, that is not allowed either. The runtimes that you distribute can only be used to playback movies that you have authored yourself. I had queried the chaps at Macr. about this and they made this point pretty clear. Regards, Pranav --- Samuel Colt - the inventor of the point and click interface. That's an interesting question. What if he pays another developer (like you or me) for producing a stub projector, which he will then ditsribute. You don't need to pay a license fee for the runtime stuff. Therefore this should be legal. It's the same as if a customer orders a CD-production. He won't be the license holder. regards, Florian Chris Aernoudt wrote: > > Economical or not, you'll have to buy it, because you don't have the right > to ditribute without a license. > > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of > Rama krishnan > Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2001 1:47 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: mac stub dir 8.5 > > Hi list > I'm doing asmall hybrid project, i have the copy > of director 8.5 for windows I need a stub for mac. > For this samll project buying the mac version of > director 8.5 is not economical, so anybody can send me > stub.

Re: Cookies and Shockwave Milk?
Strange to me, i just made a shockwave applet that makes use of externalEvent and evalScript and it runs well even under IE5. I'm pretty sure of it I just controlled, and it runs smooth on my IE5 under win2000pro. It passes data to and from javascript, java and a db. What's the case?

RE: Team collaboration
I have another Idea for you. First off, Director is probably as unfriendly collaborative environment as it gets. I used to work in teams, where only 1 member of the team had rights to touch the shared casts, which won't work if you want everyone to be able to fully participate. The real option, which I've had to make use of once (I had my doubts, but it worked brilliantly) in a rush project (although I admit that it is demanding) is to work in shifts. Shift 1 : 800-1700 Shift 2 : 1600 - 0100 Shift 3 : - 0900 The overlapping time was used for briefing the next shift on what had to be done. We changed Shifts every week, so that none would get his daily cycle too effed-up. In the end it fell apart and all three of us were there 24h/d, but at that time 2 guys were testing, and one was debugging...

RE: Cookies and Shockwave Milk?
That's true, but be warned that evalscript does not work in IE 5 (neither platform) Macromedia says it's a browser limitation. With IE5 covering about 30% of the WinDos users and 40% of the macusers that is a serious limitation. You can always use a Javascript which structures the HTML for you and saves the cookie into the SW parameters. Look in the Macr. technotes for "sw1" or "ExternalParamName" Pekka > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On > Behalf Of Ivan Preziosi > Sent: 25. heinäkuuta 2001 11:09 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Cookies and Shockwave Milk? > > > Sure man, > you should do it by JavaScript, using externalEvent and > evalScript commands. > What a fool I am not thinking of it before... > eh eh eh... > > > Ivan Preziosi > ShockWave Developer > Web Developer > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > www.ifactory.tv > www.interface-factory.com > > > - > L'albero della liberta' deve essere > irrorato di quando in quando > dal sangue dei padroni. > > > > > - Original Message - > From: "Al Hospers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2001 6:27 PM > Subject: RE: Cookies and Shockwave Milk? > > > > > How can I pull information from a cookie that was set > > > on the previous page?

Re: Team collaboration
I have this problem and we have decided work using MIAW, each one can make a movie and later all of them will work together. Each movie will have its appropriate casts library's.

Re: Cookies and Shockwave Milk?
Sure man, you should do it by JavaScript, using externalEvent and evalScript commands. What a fool I am not thinking of it before... eh eh eh...

Re: Cookies and Shockwave Milk?
I think the only way is to use setpref and getpref. If the cookie was set by a director movie (i mean using setpref command), it's all ok, but if it's not... i don't think there's a way. Security issues in shockwave prevent access to whatever is on a client disk. Isn't it?
