Compressing A director exe
Hello, Please help if you can Question; A am trying to understand how to compress director cast members using the jpeg settings on the cast member and/or using the movie settings. After all my testing it seems as if the jpeg quality settings on the cast member or the movie settings simply do nothing? Has anybody ever used the cast member and/or the movie settings Jpeg compression settings to effect the size of your exe file? Your help and/or comments would be very appreciated Thank you in advance Tom http://www.datausa.com/ [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: simultaneos QT video
The fastest and easiest way is to put both video files into 1 QT movie. Have 2 video tracks and then just turn the track you want to see to ON and the other to OFF and vice versa. I don't have Dir with me right now but the commands are something like trackEnabled and setTrackEnabled or something like that. I have used this in some projects for teaching pilots and it worked without a hitch. It eliminates the need to try and capture the movieTime etc. Hope that helps. ...Neil [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: [OT] This could affect us ALL :(
WOW... http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20010816.html thank you Sweeny dude, for pointing this one out to me. I was wondering what was the thrust of an email from Apple about QT the other day & here it is. for those of you who don't want to take the time to read the whole column, tho it is VERY fascinating and I strongly urge you to do so, here is the CRUX: So Eolas sued Microsoft, and the case has been winding itself toward trial ever since. I predicted back in 1998 that Microsoft would end up buying Eolas and putting Java out of business that way, but the game is playing out a bit differently. Eolas has been wiping the courtroom floor with Microsoft, which doesn't look like it will win. If Microsoft can't win the case, they will have to pay damages to Eolas and perhaps pay a license fee, too. But what if Microsoft takes a different route and simply removes from Windows the offending code? That would be unthinkable even months ago. It would require the removal of Java and the abandonment of APPLET and EMBED tags from future versions of Windows. It would require the adoption of an entirely new architecture for modular programs using XML. It would require .NET. The test of this theory is, of course, Microsoft abandoning EMBED. Then, on August 10th, came a note from Apple engineering staff to the QuickTime VR mailing list saying that "IE 5.5 SP2 [for Windows] will not use the QuickTime plug-in no matter what you do. Microsoft has disabled all 'Netscape style' plug-ins, there is nothing you can do. Look for information from us about how work around this problem in the near future." Goodbye EMBED. Of course, this has a delightful outcome for Microsoft. They are able to abandon Java and blame it on Eolas. It puts even more oomph behind Microsoft's move to .NET. And as an extra bonus, Apple's QuickTime (and RealPlayer, too!) gets nuked in favor of Microsoft's next-gen Media Player. = get it? Goodbye EMBED.

RE: miaw- unwanted border
-Original Message-
hey list,
I am trying to seamlessly integrate an miaw into the
stage, (for the first time on a major project). I have
tried setting the miaw type to 2 and 3, but I still
have a pixel wide black border around the edge. I
guess I could use an alpha channel just for the edge
but it seems there is a setting I'm missing. Any help? Thanx.
—--
Hi Logan,
I've actually done this for the first time myself and was amazed at how easy it is.
Simply use the shape tool and draw a shape, in my case it was a rectangle. Don't
worry too much about the size just yet. Drag the shape onto the stage and at the top
of the score window, adjust the size. I changed my shape size to 800 X 600 and named
it "800X600_1bitMask". Then delete it off the stage, but keep it in your cast. Then
when you open your MIAW use the following format:
window ("theMIAW").windowType = member("800X600_1bitMask")
Good luck,
g fritzinger

Re: PNGs with transparency & user's color depthsettings
I'm not sure it will be possible to display your images at 256 colors with out some degradation as they require a 256 color pallette and 8-bit images created within the range of that pallette to interpret the color. if you intend to display at 256 colors all of your images will need to be converted to 8-bit and you will need to create or assign an appropriate pallette. even so passing 8-bit images over each other will probably push some of colors out of the range of your pallette (hence the awful colors). do you really need to be able to display at 256 colors? Thanks Chad, I wish I didn't even need to worry about displaying at 256 colors, it would make my job a whole lot easier and I'd feel a lot better knowing my images are being displayed accurately. I'd like to think that most of the users using my training CD would be displaying at least 16-bit color, but I've seen even at our location, a number of programmers who are quite happy to keep their displays at 256. I realize that I could try to change the end users display settings, but I heard some horror stories that make me very reluctant to try. Does anyone know of any user statistics websites that don't charge for information? How common is 16 bit or higher color settings?

the "do" command
hi friends
Yes the problem is resolved now...
one interesting thing i found out was how the "do"
command works(like a handler) from:
http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/director/tips/lingo/unlingo.html#do
and using the trick of adding the RETURN constant to
declare the list varaibles global and then setting
some values in them such that i could retrive it from
another handler works perfect. the code for me is
like:
do ("global list" & spritNum & RETURN & "set list" &
spritNum & "=" & [Naam, Wsize, extn, mtime])
Thanx a lot for all the suggestions...
Richie

I think I'd choose a different methodology. I don't know if this will work for you, but what I'd do would be to have placeholder sprites on the stage, each of which has the same behaviour attached... When you parse the XML file, you could use sendSprite to initialise a list within that behaviour, eg: sendSprite( theSpriteChannel, #setData, yourDataList ) your behaviour might look like: property pChannel property pChildDataList on beginSprite me pChannel = me.spriteNum pChildDataList = [] end on setData me, theData pChildDataList = theData end on mouseUp me put "channel of clicked sprite:" && pChannel put "data held by clicked sprite:" && pChildDataList end what happens with behaviours is that each behaviour maintains its own copy of pChildDataList - therefore no need to generate runtime variables, and therefore no need for 'do', which is very slow, and should be avoided if at all possible. hope this goes some way to helping you.

Re: SV: simultaneos QT video
yes i just try that option, but with 2 videos works fine, now imagine that i have at least 6 vids and other things to interact at the same time, and the videos must have 640/480 resolution. It still works? the vids will play fast? I'm thinking if there's a way to grab the actual time of the movie and pass it to others?

RE: the "do" command
Richie, While ever convoluted, the do command should be working fine for you. Here is an output from my message window: -- Welcome to Director -- list5 = [5,6,7,8] put list5 -- [5, 6, 7, 8] sprtNum = 5 do "put list" & sprtNum -- [5, 6, 7, 8] Could you possibly be passing the wrong value to sprtNum and that is why it is giving you a void value?

shareware and distributing
Hi All, has anyone had any expierence with distributing a program (ie. a projector with an installer) as shareware to "the world". By means of offering the program at download sites such as download.com, tucows.com? I'm working on a little program I wish to distribute it freely with constrained functionality and offer users to register for say $30. Once they register the program is fully functional. For example users get a code once thei've registered (this makes it a hackers paradise...), they don't have to download an extra update. any ideas on how to approach this? are there any drawbacks on using projectors as just executable programs, I know that on some win2000 the projector display a minimum sized extra window...

the "do" command
Hi Christian Yes i tried it the way u suggested also like: do "put list" & spritNum But it prints as first it takes the value of list which is obviously void since the data is actually in list1, list2 and so on.. Okay more details about my goal: I parse an xml file and for every child i generate a sprite at runtime. Each child in my xml file has further subchildren with data about the child. I need to store this data about the child in a list which corresponds to the number of the sprite such as list 1 list2 and so on. Finally I store all these small lists in one main list so that when i click the sprite on stage i can display the data about it..but to do this when i click it i get the sprite number and from that number i need to retrieve the corresponding data list. for which i need to dynamically generate the name of the list by adding "list" with spritenumber.

the "do" command
Hi Everybody,
As previously written :
I want to generate a list with some specific data
everytime I create a
sprite.
The name of the list should always be like list1, list
2, list 3 and so
on...where the number corresponds to the sprite number
which is stored in a
variable say count.
so basically i need to create a variable name like
listname= "list" & string(count)
then this listname should be assigned a list
listname= [blah, blah, blah..]
now obviously it is a problem here as i first assign
the variable listname a
string and then a list.
-
As per one reply that I got I can use 'do' command to
create variables at
runtime and to set values to them like this:
repeat with spritNum = 1 to 10
do ("list" & spritNum & "=" & [Naam, Wsize, extn,
mtime])
blah blah
end repeat
where Naam, Wsize, extn, mtime are all variables with
some values
So i did it and it works . I can check it if i trace
it in the message
window. The problem now is that since (as per the
almost negligible
documentation that i found about the 'do' command )
this only works when i
assign a value, i am not able to retrieve values from
the list the same way.
so something like
do (put "list" & spritNum )
doesnt work...
can somebody tell me how can i retrive values from
these lists that i
generate at runtime ???
Thanx a lot for any help as this is a real problem for
me at the moment.
