RE: lingo-l Why might I be getting double characters when typing into aneditable field?
I've noticed this problem before with editable field members while testing my Director projects. When I enter text into an editable field member, I get doubles.

I opened the Keyboard control panel and under the Speed tab I set Repeat delay to Long, and Repeat rate to Slow. That didn't correct the problem. I tried another keyboard, that didn't solve the problem either. Has anybody ever had this problem before and what can I do to correct it?

RE: lingo-l ...a little question...
Just I am wondering if you have the answer for this little problem: I know that director can control if any apps exist on the user hard drive which is necessary to open a pdf or mov file, through any Xtra like IOXtra. Can you tell me where can I donwload it?, Is there another similar Xtra to do that?, Is this included in D8, D8x? Hi, I'm not totally sure that I understand what you are asking. It sounds as if you are trying to figure out how to open an app like Acrobat to display a PDF file. Is this correct? Director contains the following function open fullPathToDataFile with fullPathToApplication However, there are three issues: 1 - finding path to the PDF on your CD 2 - finding the path to the Acrobat reader on a given user's machine 3 - opening the Reader with the PDF if you ABSOLUTELY know 1 2, you can simply use the built-in Director functionality to do what you desire. That said, you will most often know only item 2 with moderate certainty. The reason for this is that the user may or may not have installed the Acrobat reader and they could install it anywhere. To find this information you will need to look in the system Registry. Additionally, they may put your CD into a drive that may or may not be one that you can guess the path to. All in all it's a conundrum that is made simpler by using an Xtra to determine these seeming unknowables. There are several Xtras available to help you with this, MasterApp is one such Xtra. The MasterApp Xtra contains a function specifically designed for that purpose named mappLocateExecutable() It returns the path to the executable registered to handle the document at the file path specified. MasterApp gives you broad control over other applications from your Director presentation. The most common application for MasterApp is building connectivity between your Director piece and various Web browsers and Web pages. However, MasterApp is much more powerful than this basic use, including dozens of methods for launching, monitoring and controlling external applications. Price: $299.00 Platforms: 32-bit Windows, Win 3.1, Mac Director versions supported: Director 4,5,6,7,8 Author: Glenn Picher MasterApp is a commercial Xtra sold by UpdateStage.

RE: lingo-l waiting for sprites to initialize

How do I make sure all sprites in the frame are ready to receive calls to their methods and to have their properties manipulated? Slava, sounds like sprites in lower channel #'s are trying to do stuff to sprites in a higher channel # before they are initialized. maybe spread the sprites over 2 (or more) frames have a frame script in the 2nd frame that starts up all the things you want to do. that way _all_ the sprites are properly inited first. another possibility is to have the sprites all register themselves in a list as they come alive then only send stuff to members of this list. just some ideas to point you on your way this 4th of July... grin Al Hospers CamberSoft, Inc. alatcambersoftdotcom http://www.cambersoft.com A famous linguist once said: There is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.

RE: lingo-l ?Passing command line parameters to projectors?
Is there a way to pass parameters to projectors created with Director 8.5 a search of the archives returns the following posting, and numerous more, from quite recently: The commandLine Director's the commandLine system property is designed to provide access to the entire string of text that was used to execute a runtime projector. put the commandLine -- projector.exe /s /t This returns the entire command line argument string passed to a runtime projector when using the Run... menu command in Windows. USAGE You can use the commandLine to dynamically specify which frame of a movie should be displayed at the start of playback. For example, launch the Projector with the marker name as the first command line argument. Then use code similar to this in your movie: on prepareMovie startUpArguments = the commandLine if startUpArguments EMPTY then go frame startUpArguments.item[1] end if end prepareMovie DRAG AND DROP On Windows, you can drag and drop multiple files onto a Projector icon. Director will list each file's name in the commandLine property at launch time. On Macintosh, although you can drag files with identical creator code as the Projector onto the Projector's icon to launch the projector, the commandLine will contain an empty string. -- ...---===| Terry R.

When a cast file is selected from Director's own Where is..? dialog, and the user selects a file that is not a valid cast file, Director tells you so. How does it know? What does it check? Can I check this before even assigning a file to be the cast's external source (on Mac and Windows)? Slava, if you are letting users load assets that are in external castLibs the way to do this is to be sure, even on the Mac, to have a file extension. then only display files of a certain type. I think you can do this on the Mac using FileIO, I know you can on the PC. if they have renamed other files with a C*T extension, well we can't help stupidity. grin Director will not load it tho will throw an error. hth Al Hospers CamberSoft, Inc. alatcambersoftdotcom http://www.cambersoft.com A famous linguist once said: There is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.

RE: lingo-l recording sound using Microphone
Does any body know how to record the sound(voice) using Mic within DIrector Is it posible?? Hi, Yes it is certainly possible. You don't say if you are using Mac or PC or which version of Director you have. Someone pointed out that they had tried it using MCI. I have personally used MCI extensively. It is PC only and is generally not a reliable solution. Add to that it is being depricated in Windows. In any event, I would suggest using an Xtra such as the Audio Xtra from UpdateStage. I am confident it can solve your problem. Here is some information from the Documentation: What Audio Xtra Does: Audio Xtra records sound in Director, Authorware and Shockwave. It can record to external files, cast members or to memory. Audio Xtra initially records to WAV files on the PC and AIFF files on the Mac.After recording, it can convert recorded sound to AIFF, WAVE or AU format on either platform. Audio Xtra is Shockwave-safe and downloadable, which means that it will automatically install itself if it is not already present on the end-user's system. Recording features include support for 8 or 16-bit recording and 11kHz through 44kHz sampling rates (all of these are available if the input device supports it). A recording may be stopped, paused and resumed at any point. Audio Xtra records and plays back sound asynchronously, meaning that animation, Lingo scripts and anything else in Director can run while a sound is being recorded. Price: $299.00 Platforms: 32-bit Windows,Mac Director versions supported: 6,7,8,8.5 Authorware version supported: 4 Shockwave-safe, Shockwave auto-install Author: Scott Kildall Audio Xtra is a commercial product available from UpdateStage. For more information, to download a trial version or purchase the Xtra visit our web site at http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/audio.html I hope that this is useful.

RE: lingo-l Multi tread with Lingo
If I remember, there was some Xtra which displayed a progress bar while copying files. ProgressCopy or something... Hi Pranav, Yes there is a Xtra called Progress Copy. It is from UpdateStage was written by Glenn Picher. Here is some information from the web site: The ProgressCopy Xtra copies files with an optional progress bar display. The progress display can include a custom text message, and provides the user with a Cancel button. The most common use of ProgressCopy is to copy files from a CD ROM to the user's hard drive as part of an install. You can also use it with image library or browser applications to allow the user to copy selected images and media from the CD to their hard drive on demand. Although there are other Xtras, including Macromedia's own FileIO Xtra, that can be used to copy files, ProgressCopy offers these advantages over other solutions: Can display a progress dialog, which is especially helpful to the user during a long file copy Copies both the resource and data fork of Mac files Platforms: 32-bit Windows, Win 3.1, Mac Director versions supported: 5,6,7,8,8.5 Authorware 3.5 and up Author: Glenn Picher For more information, download a demo version or order the Xtra please go to http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/xtrahome.html and select ProgressCopy from the menu on the left.

RE: lingo-l full text engine
which is the best full text engine for director 8.0? I must search in about 5000 rtf cast members Hi Roberto, Considering the number of members you are describing I would suggest using an Xtra like TextCruncher from UpdateStage. TextCruncher does lightning-fast searchs of text. You can use it in a Director projector or in a Shockwave movie to perform a real-time fulltext search or even create indices for an indexed search of very large amounts of text. The latter seems particularly appropriate in your case. Here is a link to an article in the UpdateStage archives that should help get you on your way: http://www.updatestage.com/previous/981201.html There is even a drag and drop behavior in the current demo that does the indexing and runtime search for you! The current version of the TextCruncher Xtra is a commercial product available for sale through www.updateStage.com. It is $129, is on Mac and Windows, supports Director 6-8 and is Shockwave safe. For more information, download a trial version or to order TextCruncher go here: http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/xtrahome.html Then select TextCruncher from the menu on the left.

Subject: lingo-l openening webpage with Browser from Projector?
Hi there Lingo-masters...
Does anyone know if its possible to launch a webpage (wich is local
on my harddisk) with my standard webbrowser (Internet Explorer) from a
Projector-file?
I mean opening the Projector.exe and letting the projector launch
Internet Explorer on a specified page.
I need this for a presentation where I have to show examples of
Flash-Director movies and this would be the easiest way to do that.

RE: lingo-l Load/unload mp3s -- HELP!!!
I'm having some problems with switching the filename property of SWA castmembers. In particular, the id3tags property doesn't update to reflect the new file (even after playing the member) and you need to play the member to update the member properties to display a valid controller. I would suggest that it might be safer to: erase (member swa) newSWA = new(#swa) newSWA.filename = yourfilenamehere.mp3 interesting... I have used this method, switching the filename of SWA members on several projects with no problem. here are 2 examples: http://www.neclimbs.com/profiles/current/current_profile.html http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/arthur/arthur/musicbox/dswmedia/music.html that said I am not using the defult controller, but one I create myself to manipulate playback. dunno why that would make any serious difference.

RE: lingo-l fileIO irregularity
I need to open a text file, which is in the same folder as the projector, in wordpad from a projector. I'm using open the moviePath myfile.txt with C:\windows\write.exe The problem is - wordpad opens but I get an error message saying file My (etc.) not found. On the other hand the file opens Ok in notepad, although the formatting is lost. Hi Steve, Have you tried this from the message window and can you make it work there? Just as an aside... I notice that you are hard coding the path to WordPad C:\windows\write.exe I assume that you know this is not likely to work on all machines. In fact it will fail on NT and Win2000 boxes almost for sure. Additionally, users can choose the name of the Windows system folder on installation. You will need to use a system-level function to determine the path to WordPad based on information in the registry. Also, as someone else also pointed out, you may have a problem with spaces in the path and long file names on some versions of Windows. There are several Xtras which will perform these functions for you, MasterApp is one. The MasterApp Xtra contains a function specifically designed for the purpose of locationg an executable named mappLocateExecutable() It returns the path to the executable registered to handle the document at the file path specified. Regarding the short/long filename issue, you could use mappGetShortFileName ( filepathString ) It takes a string containing a long file path and returns a string a short DOS-style file path. MasterApp gives you broad control over other applications from your Director presentation. A common application for MasterApp is building connectivity between your Director piece and various Web browsers and Web pages. However, MasterApp is much more powerful than this basic use, including dozens of methods for launching, monitoring and controlling external applications. Price: $299.00 Platforms: 32-bit Windows, Win 3.1, Mac Director versions supported: Director 4,5,6,7,8 Author: Glenn Picher MasterApp is a commercial Xtra sold by UpdateStage. You find out more information, download an evaluation version or purchase the Xtra here: http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/xtrahome.html I hope that this information is useful.

RE: lingo-l how can I exit the movie?
Actually, a better way out is to use 'halt'. In authoring mode (that is, in Director), quit will also exit Director, which makes it really annoying for testing. By using 'halt' instead, the movie will just stop. to cover both authoring runtime modes I have found that this works well. use this code as a behavior on your Exit button: on mouseUp me smartQuit end then place this code as a movie script in your movie: on smartQuit if the runMode Author then QUIT else HALT end if end the reason for the distinction is that QUIT will cause the Director authoring environment to close, which is not what you want when testing. hope this helps Al Hospers CamberSoft, Inc. alatcambersoftdotcom http://www.cambersoft.com A famous linguist once said: There is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative.

RE: lingo-l how can I exit the movie?
What's the benefit? Why not just always use halt? I've been doing it for years - no problems. I'm not sure why you're going through the trouble to differentiate. well, historical I suppose. it's just a part of my code base. that said, it seems to me that at one time I found something not working properly when I used HALT in runtime. maybe you guys are correct, after all you have more experience thatn me, but in that case why are there two ways to exit a movie?

If there is enough text where you might want to index each field in advance for a very speedy search then there is an article about doing it in tLingo on UpdateStage here: http://www.updatestage.com/previous/971201.html However if you have a HUGE amount of text in the field of you need to search the contents of a large file, you may want to use an Xtra like TextCruncher from UpdateStage. TextCruncher does lightning-fast searchs of text. You can use it in a Director projector or in a Shockwave movie to perform a real-time fulltext search or even create indices for an indexed search of very large amounts of text. The latter seems appropriate for your needs. Here is an article in the UpdateStage archives that will help get you on your way http://www.updatestage.com/previous/981201.html There actually is a drag and drop behavior in the current demo that does the indexing and runtime search for you.

Is it possible to add more than just one (OK) button to a standard alert message? I'd like to replace the OK button with a YES and NO button and ideally have to YES button in the hilited mode, sp the user can simply hit the Enter key. Hi g, You can certainly use MUI dialog boxes to do what you need done. I have used them a lot for all kinds of projects. Lingo In A Nutshell has information about using them as does the MM technotes. Some time ago, either here or on Direct-L, I posted a handler that makes creating the basic ones quite easy. You might search the archives for the code. NOTE - the required Xtra is NOT Shockwave compatible. If you need SW dialogs you will neet to roll your own as MIAW's. That said there are some Utilities available that will make the process a LOT easier, especially if you have a complex dialog to lay out. The MUIMaker Utility from UpdateStage is one of these. MUI Maker enables you to visually design a dialog and then generates the Lingo code for the dialog you create. You can place, resize and position your choice of buttons, dropdown menus, sliders, checkboxes, text fields and labels. One click on the Generate button creates all of the Lingo code necessary to run the dialog and copies it into the clipboard, ready to paste into a Director script. MUI Maker runs on a PC, but the Lingo code it generates works in Director movies on both the Mac and the PC to display dialogs native to the platform the movie is running on. Price: $99.00 Platforms: 32-bit Windows (Utility runs on PC. Generated Lingo code works in either Mac or PC movies) Director versions supported: Director 6,7,8,8.5 Author: Ravi Singh For more information, view a short demo or to download an evaluation version please visit our site at http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/xtrahome.html and click MUI Maker in the menu on the left.
