Neither are DTS, and the Flash is obviously not static. The test is small - should stream over a 56k connection even with the video and sound, and just loops (click on the girl if her video doesn't start up right away). I think you'll find that the data rate and frame rate of the QT movie have a lot to do with flickering. If you bring both way down, the flickering stops.

RE: OOP and ancestor access
I think Mark did a great job of explaining it here. The key is that QT behavior just broadcasts a message about the percentage completion of the QT movie, and the receiver (the slider behavior) does whatever it needs to do to represent that amount of completion. The slider behavior could be a slider that updates based on 100 step increments, it could be a series of 10 buttons where each one lights up at every 10 percent, it could be a vertical bar or horizontal bar, it could be a circle that fills like a radar screen. The point is that the interface between the sender and the receiver is agreed upon in the syntax of the message, for example, a method called:mHandlePercentPlayed(somePercentage). The sender doesn't care what the receiver does when it receives the message, and the receiver doesn't care what the sender had to do to generate the message. As Mark said, this makes debugging much easier because you can develop these two pieces independently from each other. You can make changes to either one, and as long as they continue to use the same message, the system will continue to work. And yes, I think you've got it about the accessor methods, the author's basic claim is that methods that get or set properties directly are a bad thing. Again, I think this is an excellent design goal. Irv At 8:51 PM -0600 8/20/01, Mark R.

I haven't followed this thread in its entirety... too busy. However, I think you can look at a little differently Al. You could have seperate objects that take care of the qt, the slider thumb and each other control. The messages don't necessarily need to be get and set directly. Your QT object could tell the slider what percent is currently played. It would be up to the slider object to call the necessary code to update its position with the positional information supplied by the call from the QT object and vice versa. Your not directly setting anything but rather responding to an outside "stimulus". The stimulus being the message from the QT object that it is has played 60%, the slider or other controls can respond to the message appropriately. In the same way, the slider could tell the qt object that someone has reset its position to say 30% played, its entirely up to the QT object to interpret that message and respond accordingly. So going back to the qt example, lets say you have a rewind, stop, pause, fastforward and play buttons, a slider thumb and bar and a set of volume controls which include a slider thumb, bar and a mute button. What messages would need to be sent and how would they respond. Your QT object strictly handles the QT movie properties: a). movieTime b). volume c). play d). pause Your QT playback slider handles a). indicator of percent played b). someone dragging to change position Your QT playback slider bar really only cares that a). someone clicked at a certain location relative to its length Volume slider only cares about what its current percentage of volume to max is volume slider bar only cares about where someone might have clicked on it relative to its length Mute only cars whether someone has clicked on it (on or off). The rest of the buttons can be stupid (ie someone has clicked on me type messages or they can be smart and disable if 100% played (play, pause and fast forward ) or 0% played (rewind button) or currently playing (stop button and pause buttons). Most of these messages can be handled with a True/False and a float value (percent played and percent volume) and a integer representing the amount to step forward or back (fast forward, rewind ). The messages sent to the QT object therefore would only need to be along the lines of: mHandlePercentPlayed( me, floatPercentPlayed ) mHandlePlay( me, boolPlay ) mHandleStepPlay( me, intStep ) - forward = positive, negative = back mHandlePause( me, boolPause ) mHandleStop( me, boolStop ) mHandlePercentVolume( me, floatPercentVolume mHandleVolumeMute( me, boolMute ) The Quicktime object would then figure out what its movieTime setting would be if .30 of the movie has played out and adjust the movieTime of its Movie accordingly. The difference being that the percent played slider would only calculate its position along the bar and calculate what percent that was and adjust its position accordingly then send a message to the QT object that the percent played is now 30%, the QT object figures out what to do with that and makes its adjustments and sends a message back to any related objects about whether playback is allowed and leaves them to do whatever they desire with that information. The path that would be wrong would be for the slider to access the properties of the qt movie, calculate what its duration should be and then tell the QT object to set that movieduration or for that matter leave the QT object to figure out that the movie has changed (since the QT object would be monitoring the situation anyhow). The same goes for the volume control.. a QT movie might have a zero to 255 volume level, something else might have a 0 - 100 volume level.. it should only care that its current position is x percentage of the allowable drag distance. It should only send a message out if someone moves it and then only what its new position is.. let the QT object do the math and manipulate the volume level of the QT movie. This way, your slider controls, play controls etc.. are completely independent of what they are controlling they send messages to a specified object about changes that have occured and respond to specific stimuli ( end user mouse events ) and perhaps some feedback event. They don't attempt to directly modify the properties of the item (in this case the qt movie) that they are controlling. Therefore these sliders are completely reuseable for any other event.. controlling a QT movie, AVI movie, Flash piece, animation playback anything. In the same way, the qt object might send a message out to the slider saying I'm 45%

I don't have any problem understanding object properties, accessors, encapsulation or any of that stuff. I use it all the time. I was trying to figure out how to apply what he was discussing to a basic example like this. if you end up putting the slider code inside the QTBehavior it starts to become almost like procedural code. you have this large bunch of code that becomes difficult to maintain & that has everything in it including the kitchen sink. what is the point?

The basic idea of an accessor is that it is a specialized method which just gets or sets a property variable within an object, like this: property pSomeProperty ... on mGetpSomeProperty return mSomeProperty end on mSetpSomeProperty me, someValue pSomeProperty = someValue end The author of the article was basically saying that methods like these above should never be written (he would have a coronary at the sight of a Lingo statement that went directly into an object and got a value: SomeObject.pSomeProperty = 5(don't do that!!!)) His point is instead of allowing some other object to get or set a value, you should always any code that manipulates a property in the object that defines that property. In my online book at http://www.furrypants.com/loope I write about two views of an object - "inside" the object and "outside" the object. The author of this article was talking about what I refer to as "outside" the object. That is, how do you view and communicate with the object from outside of the object - what are the methods you can call in the object. This is what he was referring to as "capabilities". Certainly, objects can be written to do useful work without any accessor methods. From the outside, it doesn't matter how the object does what it does. That's the essence of "encapsulation". But then, we are programmers. When we build an object, we must also think "inside" the object. What are the property variables that the object maintains? How do the different methods inside the object work together to share, use, and affect the property variables? In my book (so far) I discuss a Sound Manager. The Sound Manager has a set of capabilities. You can call its methods to start an external sound, start an internal sound, etc. Each action is a method call. You pass in any required parameters. The Sound Manager does what it needs to do, and from the outside, you don't care how it does what it does. There are no accessor methods, yet the Sound Manager performs some very useful functions.

I think the article that was originally cited here is very good. However, it is slanted toward the Java programming point of view. I don't know Java - I've never written a line of code in it, but I can see from what the author is saying that apparently, Java has a very different way of putting things on the screen than Lingo does. His suggestion of passing a window thingy to an object and asking it to draw it's information on the screen doesn't translate well into the Director world. Here, we typically use behaviors for drawing, or set the member of a sprite, or just stick some text into a field member. But, overall, I like his idea of not using Getter methods. I don't know how practical it is in real-world applications, but I think that it is an _excellent_ design goal. I'll have to keep that in mind in my programming. I have said in the past that if you find yourself using too many Getter or Setter methods in an object, then you should re-examine your object structure as you probably should have a property defined in a different object (the one that calls the Getter or Setter method(s) the most). I just took a quick look at my Getter methods in my current project, and only a few of them really just return a property variable. Typically, they do some operation on one or more property variables before returning a value. So, I guess you could call them service routines. There are a lot of messages on this thread and I've just skimmed most of them. I've been trying to understand where Al is going when he is talking about a global QuickTIme object and a global Slider object. Maybe I'm missing something, but wouldn't this make more sense as a QuickTIme behavior and a Slider behavior. I guess I don't see the need for a single global QuickTime object. Imagine if you had a situation where you had two (or more) QuickTIme movies on the stage at the same time. Rather than having special code to deal with the two (or more) QuickTImes, just drag out a copy of your QuickTIme behavior and drop it on each QuickTIme sprite. Same with the slider sprite. Then, the question about communication comes down to intersprite communication. Without getting into a big discussion about how to get sprite numbers, an an example, you could just make an assumption that the QUickTIme sprite assumes that the slider is in spriteNum + 1, and the slider makes an assumption that the QuickTIme is in spriteNum - 1, then they just use these spriteNumbers to communicate. As the QuickTime plays, the QT behavior, in it's exitframe handler, could do a "sendSprite" to the slider telling it the percentage of completion. And, as the Slider is dragged by the user, the slider behavior in its exitFrame handler, could do a "sendSprite" to the QT behavior, telling it the percentage to go to. Is this too simple? Am I missing something? While it may not be "pure" OOP, I use global objects all the time, for things that are not screen related (e.g., Sound Manager, Net Manager, Navigation, etc.). Is there really a need for a global QT Manager here? As for the original question of ancestor access, I rarely use ancestors. I really dislike the fact that you are forced to use the syntax of me.somePropertyName. It makes coding with ancestors seem very wierd and unusually difficult.As long as I've been into OOP, I've been looking for some editor/displayer which would show me a full object's structure and properties. For example, if I create an object from the A parent script, and it instantiates B as it's ancestor, I would like to be able to see my A object in a way that has all the methods from A and B grouped together, and all the properties from A and B grouped together. That would make things much clearer. Irv -- Lingo / Director / Shockwave development for all occasions. (Home-made Lingo cooked up fresh every day just for you.)

Well, the other suggestion with the timeOut object would be the other part which is related to the frameRate. What rate are you setting it to?

dragging a non-moveable sprite
Thanks, Roy--but no, not really. The movement is still laggy, just as it was when I had the stillDown in my exitFrame handler. You're right--when I adjust location in the sprite's handlers, I lose the stillDown, but not when I do that in exitFrame: the result is the same whether I use a flag or the stillDown. The sprite moves way behind the mouse pointer (comical, almost). This is under Windows 2000, 450 MHz, D8. And the sprite's member is a small text member with Background Transparent ink.

Re: Lingo-L Digest V1 #2118
Alex, I recently did a project with lots of Flash graphics and QT movies. I experienced a similar problem. What you have to do is keep the two away from each other. I found that when they touched or overlapped everything went to crap. Maybe its because they are both moving and probably at different frame rates. So to play the movies you should have your Flash pieces separate and put the QT movie in without them touching. That may mean that you have to break up your Flash interface to separate components. Good Luck.

Director does not like ANY over-lapping between non-static flash sprites and quickTime sprites. Also, if you have multiple non-static flash sprites on stage director seems to use a mysterious "bounding box" which includes all flash elements -- which will cause the QT to flicker even though the QT sprite is not overlapping any flash sprite (the QT sprite IS overlapping director's mysterious bounding box) the flicking stops when the flash elements are set to static, but that isn't always pratical.

Re: dragging a non-moveable sprite
Generally the non-repeat loop way to do that is to have the mouseDown set a boolean value and you check that boolean value on the exitFrame (or more elegantly, do it in the stepFrame and add "me" to the actorList). You're losing the stillDown because you end up moving the mouse off the image...the smaller the image, the easier this is to do. So, on a valid mouseDown, set yourself up to continue following the mouse until you actually get a mouseUp (and mouseUpOutside) which will set the 'follow' condition to false. that help? roymeo At 10:13 AM 8/20/01 -0400, you wrote: >Yes, sure.

Re: dragging a non-moveable sprite
You're right Slava. Repeat loops suspend _all_ other animation in Director.
Frame scripts won't work well either when the frame rate drops down too
much.
However, courtesy of timeOut objects, you can have smooth motion without
the lockout of repeat loops. Here's some code over the top of my head.
Untested.
property pUpdateTimer
property fActive
on beginSprite me
-- Initiate the timeOut object
pUpdateTimer = timeOut("update_screen").new(100, #mUpdateScreen, me)
fActive = FALSE
end beginSprite me
on mouseDown me
-- When the user clicks, set the flag to TRUE
fActive = TRUE
end mouseDown me
on mouseUp me
-- When the user releases the cursor, set the flag to FALSE
fActive = FALSE
end mouseUp me
on mouseUpOutside me
-- When the user releases the cursor, set the flag to FALSE
fActive = FALSE
end mouseUpOutside me
on mUpdateScreen me
-- If the flag is TRUE, then update the location of the sprite
if fActive then
sprite(me.spriteNum).loc = the mouseLoc
end if
end mUpdateScreen me
The idea behind using timeOut objects is that they always fire off at a
fixed interval. There's no dependency on frame rate or screen refreshes. So
even if you set your handler to be triggered every millisecond, it'll
always work. The flag simply checks that the user has actually pressed the
mouse button over the current sprite. If the flag is TRUE, then the
mUpdateScreen handler updates the location of the sprite to the mouseLoc.
As I said earlier, this is pretty basic code. You'll need to add the frills
in it for the kind of movement you're looking for the sprite.
HTH.

Yes, sure. Adding an updateStage after every location update makes no
difference--it is still possible to break the mouse pointer away from the
sprite with a quick motion, and then the hander stops working.
I also tried putting the sequence in the exitFrame script. In that case,
the handler always works, but is very "laggy," even at 25 frames/sec.
Putting the same sequence in a repeat loop, as I've seen in one DOUG
article, makes the movement jerky for some reason. Also, a repeat loop
suspends background actions, at least on the Mac.
I don't know what else to try.

dragging a non-moveable sprite
Yes, sure. Adding an updateStage after every location update makes no difference--it is still possible to break the mouse pointer away from the sprite with a quick motion, and then the hander stops working. I also tried putting the sequence in the exitFrame script. In that case, the handler always works, but is very "laggy," even at 25 frames/sec. Putting the same sequence in a repeat loop, as I've seen in one DOUG article, makes the movement jerky for some reason. Also, a repeat loop suspends background actions, at least on the Mac. I don't know what else to try. S.

Automatically updating the drop down menu

Thru cdpro xtra i can get the value of number of tracks in the audio cd if the number of songs are ten, it give me the value 10. What i would like to do is this number 10 should automatically come into the drop down list. i.e it should appear track1, track2, track3 etc. How can i dynamically list the number of tracks in the drop down menu and how can i write programme that when track3 in the drop down menu then do what ever i want to do (means to play track3). thanks in advance. pandey [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: Ipix problem.....
That Xtra has been discontinued.
