RE: The Merits (or Not) of Protection
If "tell sprite" is D8 syntax (and it looks like it is), then I can't rely
on it. I've got to support D7 environments.

Re: proxyServer()
What happens is when a user requests a webpage, the proxyserver asks for authentication, and then when it receives it, it sort of wraps any request from that user with their authentication information. With shockwave, the authentication works as the browser kind of inserts any request from the shockwave with the authenticating stuff, so if you can run your application as a shockwave in a browser webpage, you'll be ok. I was actually fooling around with the very same thing a while ago, but never finished it (client decided to not pursue) as we were using a lot of local media and couldn't do it in a browser. Every information/web request has a special code, so I started to use the MU xtra to send http request step by step to allow the application to 'fake' the regular html authentication stuff.

blinking I-beam => blinking block
Problem (posted a couple of days ago): In one of my editable fileds, I simulate the "overwrite" typing mode by intercepting keystrokes and replacing the characters that are already in the field. (The user is not allowed to insert or delete characters.) To make this visually clear, I would like to change the default blinking I-beam to a blinking rectangle, as most apps do when you use the overwrite mode. Can this be done through Longo? Solution: I ended up selecting the character next to the insertion point, and then deselecting it every 300 milliseconds--using a timeout object, as Sean suggested. Amazinglzy simple, and it imitates a blinking "typeover" cursor almost perfectly. Unfortunately, the I-beam cursor is still there, but as it is right next to the selection, it's not all that bothersome.

RE: OOP and ancestor access
I would like to join in on this thread; in particular I would like to know if anyone has thought about using the patterns approach in Director. The intent of contributors to this thread seems consistent with the work of Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides (affectionally known as the Gang of Four.) In their book _Design Patterns_ (that can correctly be deemed seminal) they set out to catalog some of the patterns of object use that people have been successfully in software development. The patterns that they cataloged were those that promoted object reuse. I immediatly liked _Design Patterns_, because of the emphasis on how objects collaborate. When I first encountered OOP, collaboration was the biggest of mysteries. The often sited benefit of OOP is code reuse, however it is pretty hard to craft a object class that really is reusable. And it is very easy to write Object Oriented code that is as messy or messier than procedural stuff! Since their book was published (1995?) others have written similar books, and extended the idea. In fact, I first encountered the idea while I was learning Java. Several authors have take the 23 patterns presented by the GoF (Gang of Four) and reworked the examples into Java (_Design Patterns_ features example code written in C++ and Smalltalk.) Along these lines, I have been interested in seeing a collection of patterns for Lingo OOP. I feel that some (but not all) of the patterns documented in _Design Patterns_ would be useful to a wide audience of Lingo Programmers. And I think that there are probably some patterns that are fairly unique to Lingo. Anyway, I posting this email to reinforce and support the ideas that have been carried on this thread so far. I guess you could say that the catalog of patterns is a "documentation pattern" that the OOP programmers in Lingo could reuse.

RE: how to "halt" when another program is opened?
Is the projector running on 2000? Ive run across situations where "halt" doesn't exit the presentation on 2000 machines. Instead, you have to use "quit". I usually write a simple script like so: If the runMode contains "Author" then halt else quit end if This is so that in authoring, it will just stop the presentation, and not quit out of director. hth...

RE: The Merits (or Not) of Protection
Jakob, I'm trying to understand and put to use your sage advice regarding LDMs. I've remade my external cast as a .dir movie file, and have imported it into the internal cast of another movie as a linked Director movie.

RE: Lingo-L Digest V1 #2111
Hi. I assume you want to use ASP to query info from a database?
It seems to me that the only reason you would wantto use ASP is to
interface between Director and a database on an NT or win2000 server.
If that is your goal, you can do some great things with asp.
You can pass variables to an asp page using the lingo command
PostNetText, followed by the parameters you want to post. It is
sent to the page as form variables. You can then set the page
to write back the results in a list form that director can read.
I just finished a project that uses asp to simultaneously gather
info from an intranet with 27 different "voters", crunch the
numbers in an Access database, while a shockwave applet which is
being broadcast over a video network is constantly polling the
database by sending postnettext commands to an asp page, and
updating the vote results on a graph in real time over the video
network. Here's some sample code cut and pasted from the project:
LINGO: to send parameters from the shockwave applet
if pdownloadContainer = "start" then
pdownloadContainer=getNetText("http://www.yoursite.com/yourpage.asp";)
else
if netDone(pdownloadContainer) then
SessionID = netTextResult(pdownloadContainer)
if netError(pdownloadContainer) <> "OK" then
member("Question Text").text = "Trying again..."
put "Session ID NetError = " & netError(pdownloadContainer)
pdownloadContainer=getNetText("http://www.yoursite.com/yourpage.asp";)
put "resending"
else
--put "sessionID - OK"
ppollingmode = "numparticipants"
psessionID=nettextresult(pdownloadcontainer)
pdownloadcontainer=""
pnumparticipants=postnetText("http://www.yoursite.com/
yourpage2.asp",["sessionID":pSessionID])
-- NOTE THE USE OF PARAMETERS HERE
member("Question Text").text = "...retrieving question text..."
end if
end if
end if
ASP:
<%
dim DBLOCATION
DBLOCATION=Server.MapPath("..\data\yourdatabase.mdb")
dim MYDB'set as ADODB.Connection
set MYDB = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
myDB.connectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
& "Data Source=" & DBLOCATION
myDB.open
dim myQuery ' as ADODB.Recordset
dim myCMD ' as ADODB.Command
set myCMD = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
set myCMD.ActiveConnection = myDB
myCMD.CommandText = "SELECT questionID,questiontext
from questions WHERE sessionID = " & cInt(request.form("sessionID"))
' YOU MAY BE GETTING A RETURN OF 0 BECAUSE LINGO SENDS THE QUERY AS TEXT
(VARTYPE 8
IN VBSCRIPT) BUT YOUR DATABASE IS TRYING TO FIND AN INTEGER FOR A UNIQUE
RECORD
NUMBER. USE CINT() IN VBSCRIPT AND VALUE() IN LINGO TO TRANSLATE.
set myQuery = myCMD.Execute
do while not myQuery.EOF
response.write myQuery("questionID") & chr(13)
response.write myQuery("questiontext") & chr(13)
myQuery.movenext
Loop
myQuery.Close
myDB.Close
set myQuery = nothing
set myDB = nothing
%>
This asp page will return a list of values separated by RETURN character.
Using text crunching lingo (look in the lingo dictionary in the director
help section under "text") you can chop this up and serve it up as
variables in whatever way you want.
Hope this isn't too long, but i thought the code makes it easier to
explain. I will be away from my email (gasp) for 10 days starting Friday,
so if you need any more help email befoer then or after.
Best regards,
Andrew

Or is that a false perception? As far as you can transparently "install" the castlib without intimidating the enduser, it has this advantage over Xtras that require obtrusive alerts. On a performance level, I'd guess that a pure lingo solution looses hard against a real Xtra.

Re: Digital video control buttons
When you start to have a complex movie, it's harder to track which sprite visibility has been turned ON or OFF. Once you set it off, the entire sprite span is set to OFF unless you turn it back ON at some point. It's better to just move it offstage and bring it back when you need it.

The Merits (or Not) of Protection
This is a cross-post from Direct-L. My apologies if that offends. Hello, everyone. I have an important series of questions regarding the distribution of proprietary Lingo "libraries". I'll use the term "library" loosely (because I am aware of the fact that a Director Library is defined as an external cast that resides in the "Libs" folder of a Director installation, and whose cast members can be accessed via the Library palette). In my case, I'm talking about an external cast containing nothing but parent scripts -- nothing that can be dragged to the score or dropped on a sprite. This external cast is meant only to be linked to by another movie, and then accessed via the API exposed by creating a specific child object. The Lingo in this external cast is proprietary, and took many man-months to engineer. The intellectual property embodied by this work holds great value for the creators, and they trust it will hold great value for its licensees. As such, it needs to be protected. Simple enough, you say! Just run the .cst through "Update Movies," and use the "Protect" or "Convert to Shockwave Movie(s)" action. You end up with a .cxt or .cct in which the textural representation of the Lingo is stripped out. Now comes my series of questions: 1) Is this enough protection? Meaning, is the readable Lingo in a .cxt or .cct completely, and forever, inaccessible? 2) Is the .cxt or .cct file usable as a linkable external cast just as easily and reliably as an unprotected .cst file? Are there any technical "gotchas" here? 3) How about in authoring mode? You can still view the members of a linked protected/compressed external cast while authoring, and you can bring up blank script editor windows for the scripts in that cast. You can also type into those blank editor windows and effectively replace the scripts for those members, possibly rendering the entire external cast useless. Are authoring mode edits of protected/compressed external cast members nothing more than a support issue, or is there something else that can be done to prevent this from happening altogether? 4) Could someone please characterize for me the opinions of the "middle-user" community regarding protected casts? Are they generally well-received, or frowned upon? 5) Could someone please characterize for me how a protected external cast rates against an Xtra with identical functionality? When used within the environs of Shockwave, isn't an externally linked cast easier to deal with for the end user than an Xtra which must be downloaded through a secure certificate? Or is that a false perception? 6) If the "product" (as an external cast) is just as much a demonstration of the capabilities of Lingo to implement an open standard as it is to provide functionality for the end-user, are there still strong arguments for implementing the functionality as an Xtra? Thank you in advance for your input. I'm looking forward to the responses. Christopher Watson Sr. Software Engineer Lightspan, Inc.

RE: proxyServer()
Hi Dale The issue is with the proxyServer. Some proxyservers are set up (and this is generally an option) to log in to the proxyserver / firewall before gaining access to the internet.. This allows the IT folks to have control over who can access the Internet and who can't as well as giving them to option to log who goes where on the Internet.. thus they can instantly see who spends all their time on the porn sites and who does what. Its a royal pain in the butt when they force you to log in to the proxyServer but that's part of life. So the issue that Terry is pointing out is relative to the proxyServer itself and not the website that you are attempting to access. Sincerely Mark R.

How can I speed up between shows?
Hi List, I have a project that runs all on buttons and made in D7(Windows). How do I make it run faster? 1. Does Dir files run better, faster or the same as Dxr files? 2. Is the size of the sprite span better at the default 28 or should I change them to 7 since its all buttons? 3. Should I update to Director 8 or stay at Director 7? Is 8 fast or does it have something in it that will help made it run faster? 4. Or is there something I am missing or forgot to?

Re: Director and CDDB
CDDB publishes instructions on how to submit a code. They also have rules on WHO can submit a code, if I recall, meaning that individuals were okay for the occasional check, but they didn't want their servers to get barraged by some major site submitting bazillions of lookups for free. That was a few years and may have changed, but I would suggest checking. They give you some .CGI script you can call to get info back. I wrote CD Pro for CDDB 1.0, and I think they have 2.0 out, but I don't know much about it, or if it's backward compatible. - Tab At 04:04 PM 8/15/01 +0300, Pekka Buttler wrote: >A recent (active) discussion thread started me thinking. >The CDPro Xtra returns a cddb compatible ID code for use with CDDB, but how >do you really get that information from a cddb? > >Pekka [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: Controlling Audio CD's and Mp3 files?
I have eard something about you being able to use the Windows MCI device on
Windows, but there are a few things to consider:
1# PC only
2# MCI is an old technology, and it will probably not be supported forever.
BTW, does anyone know whether it will work with Windows XP?
3# Using MCI is not as intuitive and AFAIK, it gives you no way of
controlling whether it works or not.
Using the CDPro Xtra does not in itself cost you anything, if the logo
troubles you, you can always try to contact Penworks, who infact hosts this
list.
Maybe you can reach an agreement to suit both parties

Re: timeout
Hi and thanks for your response but I just can't seem to get my head around timeout, timeoutLapsed, setting what to where? I wrote this script and oit seemed to work for a while but then... on timeout set the timeoutLength to 600 if random (2)=2 then go to frame 141 else if random(2) = 2 then go to frame 185 else go to frame 230 end if end if end I have this as a moviescript, and a "go to the frame" at where I want the timeout stuff to happen. If I place my playback head after the "go to the frame" the movie seems to work. It palys from whatever frame, returns to "index", waits 10 seconds and then randomly go to one of 3 frames, plays that and returns to "index" and so on. But if I start the movie from the beginning it just doesn't get passed the "go to the frame" script. What have I done wrong. I feel that I've tried everything but obviously am missing something. Also the random part of the script - is there a better way of doing this? Any help on this would be really appreciated.

Be aware that there might be several copies of a script, present as text in the file, due to the incremental save-mechanism, so be sure to find the last one. If the file was compacted prior to being opened as text, there wont be duplicates.

Controlling Audio CD's and Mp3 files?
Hey List I have searched the digests, and am now sure this can be done, only problem remaining is how? What I need is sort of a winAmp, that you can load your MP3's into from your harddisk, and also play your audio cd's. Any tips are very appreciated. Thanks a lot. -Natalia [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.
