lingo-l 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 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. I tried mine with all kinds of combinations - saveBitmap, antiAliasing FALSE, DTS etc., etc. Have you tried other ways of highlighting (e.g., bolding, or a bitmap, or changing the fontszie)? The work-around I used is via imaging lingo. Gave exactly the same look as changing the colour of the word clicked. It works very well.

Re: lingo-l music player [x-post]
Al - It's an 80 kbps stream - that's probably way too much for a modem. Most 56k modems deliver about 48 max on a good connect. Try your player w/this URL: http://audio.macromedia.com/samples/classic.swa (It delivers a 16 kbps stream therefore should play even in the hinterland.) BTW you can get your client's pipe tested from: Test Your Connection Speed http://www.x-mp3.com/testyourspeed.shtml note: I just tried it it didn't connect, but it had been working as recently as a week ago. Also note that a badly fragmented HD can cause gapping as the file system thrashes trying to cache the stream. hth -Buzz hi, I have a music player that I just did for a client. simple, straight ahead kind of thing. it plays either MP3 or SWA audio. problem is that he is on a dialup sometimes it does NOTHING or plays like crap, breaks up in the middle all that. doesn't seem to matter for SWA or MP3. I am buffering the audio for 15 seconds so it should play unless the connection is really abyssmal. of course we live up here in the hinterlands of New Hampshire, so that may be the case!

You will need a .INI file of the same name as the projector in the same folder as the projector.

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.

lingo-l Does how you crop affect performance? Cropping utilities..
Hey all - After seeing how some others are approaching the 'cropping utility' (using the script by Werner Sharp, or at least the technique) I'm beginning to second-guess the way I've approached constructing things in Director over the last 4 years. Specifically, the technique using imaging lingo returns an image which represents ONLY the differing pixels, and white space everywhere else. When I wrote my AutoCropper utility I wrote it such that the resultant bitmap was a pure rectangle, with the intent that it would be placed on the stage with 'copy' ink. I have 2 problems with the other method: 1. This is a very fast technique but you end up with an image which must be composited on the stage with 'background transparent' ink. 2. Aesthetically, it looks awful, but this is just a personal preference. I much prefer to see a rectangle-cropped image in the paint window rather than an image with bits and pieces hacked out of it. Call me weird.. :) I've always taught my junior designers to never crop images as anything but a rectangle - again because I always, always use 'copy' ink unless I absolutely must use something else. This was because I read early on that 'copy' was faster than 'background transparent' - period. And I've stuck to that idea since. So, I just put together a quick test to compare the output from the AutoCropping utility and guess what - when it comes to compositing on screen, 'copy' is still way faster (a factor of 2x). Animating the 'copy-ink pure rectangles' on stage over 100 cycles took 359ms. Animating the 'background-ink different-pixels-images' over 100 cycles took 873ms. The tradeoff is the one-time-only cropping time - using the 'crop a pure rectangle' method (AutoCropper) took 1.28s, and using the 'return an image with only the different pixels and lots of white space' method took 0.42s. It would seem to me that many using the other technique still put their sprites on stage using an ink other than copy - is their some specific reason for this? Enquiring minds... :) Kendall.

RE: lingo-l Real duration
Try: member(real cast member).duration In order for this to work, you *must* first play the video. Remember that this is a streaming (always) media type and information such as its duration isn't known until streaming has begun. Therefore if you need to write some code that is dependant upon the duration, either write it such that you query the duration after playback of the member has begun and then store that in a variable, or play the member in authoring and hardcode the duration value.

Two days ago I started getting catastrophic crashes on my Mac that made
Director simply vanish from my screen with a Type 2 error*. After
placing debugging commands that wrote out to a text file (so I could
read it after the crash). I tracked it down to a single line. This line
would execute fine any number of times, and then for no apparent reason,
would fail and take Director with it. Sometimes the whole machine.
Sometimes the machine would hang a couple minutes later.
The line was something very like:
sprite(29 + x).setprops(foo, bar, rabnicky)
('setprops' is a handler in one of the behaviours attached to the sprite)
even when crashing, the values for foo, bar and rabnicky were always valid.
It was suggested that calling a handler that way, while it works most of
the time, is not actually supported and that 'call' or 'sendsprite' are
the ways to go. (thanks Dan S.)
now I use:
sendsprite(29 + x,#setprops,foo, bar, rabnicky)
and there are no more crashes.
There you go, FWIW.
* a type 2 is when a program tries to access a word of memory starting
at an odd address. It only works from even ones.

Re: lingo-l Does how you crop affect performance? Croppingutilities..
Hi Christian - not quite clear about the context here, but are they huge images? I don't know what scripting you are using, or what size images you're cropping... but hope it's of some use... Sorry for the lack of context.. I'm referring to utilities to crop sequences of images based on how they differ from a reference image. (see http://www.invisiblethreads.com/lingo/autocropper/index.html) Using D8 imaging lingo, copying image 'a' onto the reference image using the reverse ink will provide a new image which only represents the differences between the two - ie: as if you had cropped out everything which was the same. However, the remainder image contains ONLY the pixels that changed, so there are many white-space gaps 'inside' the image, meaning you need to composite the image on the stage using the background-transparent ink. My utility rather crops the images in the image sequence based on a rect defining the region of change, rather than isolating each pixel. Kurt Griffin has a similar utility using the previous approach (that produces an image with interior white spaces representing non-changing areas) and I was simply wondering what people thought about the two approaches, given that one requires the use of background-transparent ink vs copy ink for the other (and all the relevant speed issues pertaining to those two inks).

Re: lingo-l Debugging OOPs in lingo with Director 5
i would definitely recommend's irv's ebook, and i think there are good chapters in bruce epstein's and gary rosenzweig's books. peter small's lingo sorcery is unique, that's for sure. for me, it was very helpful in making the conceptual leaps required to move from procedural to object oriented thinking. oop seems to be the kind of thinking that turns on like a light switch. once that happened, i moved on to other sources about ways of using it in director. but for first making that leap, peter's book is weird enough that it can be helpful along those lines... --bhakti Irv Kalb wrote: Peter Small had some errors in his book and put an errata sheet on his website.

lingo-l timer problem
Hi. I have a simple problem. I am trying to present a stimulus for a brief period of time but the code I'm using is not controlling that period. I have an on MouseDown script in frame 1 that directs the playback head to frame 2, where I select the color of the stimulus. The stimulus ends up being presented briefly but not for the amount of time I specified. Here's my Frame 2 script: on beginSprite me startTimer pickColor end on pickColor chroma = random (3) case (chroma) of 1: sprite(1).color = rgb(0,0, 255) 2: sprite(1).color = rgb(0,255,0) 3: sprite(1).color = rgb(255,0,0) end case updateStage if the timer 60 then go to the frame else go to frame 1 end if end According to the debugger no stimulus is presented until the pickColor handler is finished and the program goes to the end command in the beginSprite handler. And the program never goes back to frame 1. This is frustrating. Paul Schulman __ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!

Re: lingo-l bug on czech windows?
One thing you might czech (sorry, couldn't resist) is if the problem is really due to Czech Windows, or if that's just a decoy, and it's really due to their configuration. If it was Director related, the bug would probably also occur on languages similar to Czech. Director itself is not localized to Czech, so it's something on the Czech configuration. Do you know what the script error is? Do you have the source? If so, you can start tracking down to find the line of the error. I'd try to get the source and narrow down the offending line (maybe running the .DIR directly will help - you can do this), and work from there. - Tab At 11:56 AM 7/26/01 -0700, Stephane Comeau wrote: Hi, I've got a bug report that I'm trying to track down where a shockwave movie that works well otherwise will generate a script error and then a C++ runtime error when played back on a Czech version of windows with system locale and default language set to Czech.

lingo-l Windows vs. Mac, window focus
A distinguished member of this list suggested that this wouldn't be a totally foolish question to ask on the list... so I'm asking it. The issue may be a basic OS one, not a Director issue--I don't know. It's about window focus and window stacking order on the Mac compared to MS Windows. In MS Windows, an application window can be on top (in front of) other windows, and yet not to have the focus. That's how Help works in most apps: you can read the Help text and work in your application window at the same time, even if the windows overlap: if Help is set to be Always on Top, then it is not blocked/obscured by the other windows, even when it doesn't have the focus. Always On Top is usually an option, and Buddy API even has a function for using it with Director movies under Windows. I think I've seen some Mac applications behave similarly, but I don't seem to be able to achieve this with my projectors and their MIAWs. Here is the situation: My main movie window (the stage) has a text for reading, in Russian. (The text is not editable.) When the user doesn't know a word, he clicks it, and my Glossary movie opens as a MIAW, displaying the gloss for that word. The user can read the gloss and then continue reading the text. This works fine even when the Glossary MIAW overlaps the text window (the stage), because I keep the MIAW in front of the stage by using the moveToFront command right after the glossary lookup command. So far so good. But when the user needs to scroll the text in the main text window (the stage), and he clicks the scroll bar, nothing happens, because my moveToFront command gave the MIAW the focus. The user has to click twice in the text window: the first time to give the stage the focus, and then the second time to scroll. Many users will assume, after the first click, that the scrollbars aren't working (not being sophisticated enough to realize that the dimmed title bar of the stage means the focus is elsewhere.) So I would like (programmatically, through Lingo) to display the gloss in the MIAW, and then move the focus back to the stage, but without having the MIAW disappear behind the stage. That way, the first click on the scrollbar would do what the user expects it to do. What gives me the hope that this can be achieved is the fact that it IS easily achieved by a mouseclick: the second click in the stage does give the stage the focus, but does _not_ bring the stage to the front; my MIAW is still visible ON TOP of the stage, even though it now doesn't have the focus. So I hope that I can make that happen through Lingo as well. Am I making sense? Or am I being a dumb Windows junkie?

RE: lingo-l Type 2 Crash. a cautionary tale
I've once had an insider explain to me that the reason is that that type of function calling is reserved for built in functions, not custom lingo. Understandable, but an oversight nevertheless... Which brings me to another idea. Would someone second my vote for the following concept. The user would be able to create a castlib of scripts (handlers, functions, methods, whatever), which would be attached, not to the movie (as an external CastLib) but to the Application (Director, Projector, Shockwave(?)). The Castlib could be protected, and the functions within the castlib would on startup of the Application be embedded into Lingo's own sphere of functions. and could therefore be more readily at hand and hopefully faster to execute) This would allow users to make their own expansions to the Lingo Function set. (Naturally everyone can write their 2000x functions and store them in an external cast even now, but I'd really love the feel of being able to modify the platform instead of just the files run with it) What I'm offering is not in any way revolutionary (except making custom lingo faster by enabling its integration into the application's core function set), just a very nifty feature. For Example I have long since made myself a wide set of geometric calculation functions Like somePointValue = MidPointOfRect(Myrect) or IntegerValue = distOfPoints(the MouseLoc, MidPointOfRect(sprite(MySprite).rect)) etc. IMHO, it would give a new aspect to custom functions... 1 dime (or am I valuing it too high) Pekka -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Slava Paperno Sent: 26. heinakuuta 2001 21:53 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: lingo-l Type 2 Crash. a cautionary tale I haven't done the tracing that you have, but I think my Type 2 crashes of D8 on Mac OS 9.04 started when I started using the same type of calls...

RE: lingo-l bug on czech windows?
One thing you might czech (sorry, couldn't resist) is if the problem is really due to Czech Windows, or if that's just a decoy, and it's really due to their configuration. Pretty sure it's related to the windows language/regional settings. Bug reports note that the bug doesn't repro on the same box without the Czech settings. This is a very widely deployed dcr, so I'm reasonably confident the bug would have been reported with other lang settings if it reproed. If it was Director related, the bug would probably also occur on languages similar to Czech. Director itself is not localized to Czech, so it's something on the Czech configuration. Also has happened w. other Central European languages (croatian). There is a Central European support pack for windows, that could be part of the mix. Do you know what the script error is? Not yet, gotta clear up a test machine and install a Czech version of windows first. Do you have the source? If so, you can start tracking down to find the line of the error. Yup, SOP. I'd try to get the source and narrow down the offending line (maybe running the .DIR directly will help - you can do this), and work from there. Yup, SOP. Just fishing for a yeah, I've seen that response for clues before I go on the bug hunt.

RE: lingo-l PS to does this crash make sense?
Good to hear that! Would you mind sharing your solution, or at least its direction? There are so many things that with imaging Lingo might mean :-) OK. Here's the process I used: In a behavior attached to the block of text I create an image in the beginSprite handler and store it as a property -- create image object: pImage = image(1, 1, 16) -- fill it with the appropriate color: pImage.fill(0, 0, 1, 1, [#shapeType: #rect, #lineSize: 0, #color: rgb(255, 0, 0)]) In the mouseDown handler, find which word was clicked: -- which word (number) was clicked? tWord = pSprite.pointToWord(cLoc) -- move the hilite image so it sits over the word clicked: charCount = pMember.text.word[1..tWord].char.count + 1 thisWord = pMember.word[tWord] len = thisWord.length firstCharPos = pMember.charPosToLoc(charCount - len) lastCharPos = pMember.charPosToLoc(charCount) -- create rect dimensions and pad it -- for character ascenders/descenders -- (this relies on storing the sprite's left -- and it's lineHeight as properties) l = firstCharPos[1] + pLeft r = lastCharPos[1] + pLeft t = firstCharPos[2] + 7 b = t + pLineHeight - 5 -- copyPixels to the stage (the stage).image.copyPixels(pImage, rect(l, t, r, b),\ pImage.rect, [#ink:37]) Hope that helps, -Sean.
