I know that this is in fact not the case because I have used this viewer on NT for projects before. however, you cannot pas a path to the viewer that contains the SPACE character in it. you will either need to make sure the full path to the application and the data files do not contain any spaces. you can use the BUUDDY Xtra to do this. it has a function called, I believe, baShortFileName() that performs this function.

RE: lingo-l Search Path
I am trying to open file external but for that i want reader so i have to search the exe file path by lingo for that i want that script so if any one can know then please inform me. While what you desire COULD be done with Lingo, it is far easier faster to do using an Xtra designed for that purpose. 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 problem with handler
I've got a problem with a script. I agree on collisionSprite me if me.spriteNum(bee shape).intersects sprite.(spider shape)THEN sprite.(spider shape).width * 1.1 sprite.(spider shape).height * 1.1 sprite.(bee shape).width * 0 sprite.(bee shape).height * 0 end The error I'm getting is: Script error: Expected THEN. wo. I'm surprised that is all you are getting Also, I'd prefer to have this part of the script actually SNIP 1 - you should really read the documentation on what Sprite as a Lingo keyword actually means. the following is directly from the online HELP: Syntax sprite(whichSprite).property the property of sprite whichSprite Description Keyword; tells Lingo that the value specified by whichSprite is a sprite channel number. It is used with every sprite property. A sprite is an occurrence of a cast member in a sprite channel of the Score. Example This statement sets the variable named horizontal to the locH of sprite 1: horizontal = sprite(1).loc Example This statement displays the current member in sprite channel 100 in the Message window: put sprite (100).member the thing to note here is that the parameter whichSprite is a NUMBER which refers to the channel that the sprite is placed in. bee shape is meaningless in this context. I assume that it is a member name, but in this case it is clearly not a sprite. if we were to make the variable whichSpriteNumber equal to the sprite in channel 10 and if you want to refer to the member that is used to make a sprite you do it thus whichSpriteNumber = 10 -- channel 10 sprite(whichSpriteNumber).member and if you actually do want to set that sprite's height width you do it like whichSpriteNumber = 10 sprite(whichSpriteNumber).width = 0 sprite(whichSpriteNumber).height = 0 and if you want to move it off screen, which is what I assume you desire, you would write sprite(whichSpriteNumber).locV = 1000 locV is the vertical location of the given sprite. this would then, move the sprite to a position 1000 pixels from the top of the screen. additionally your syntax in the handler you are writing is very incorrect. for starters you left off the end if for your if...then statement. here is an example from the online Help again if (the commandDown) and (the key = q) then cleanUp quit end if note the end if closure. adding this into your handler fixing the other problems you might come up with on collisionSprite me property SpriteNum -- built in property getting the sprite number of the -- sprite we are attached to property spiderSpriteNumber -- you have to put this in beeSpriteNum = spriteNum -- we dropped this behavior onto the bee sprite spiderSpriteNumber = 10 -- you edit this number appropriately if sprite(beeSpriteNum ).intersects sprite.(spiderSprite)THEN sprite.(beeSpriteNum ).LocV = 1000 -- move the bee sprite ofscreen sprite.(spiderSpriteNumber).LocV = 1000 -- move the spider sprite ofscreen end if end put this in a behavior script drop it onto the bee sprite. you would have to edit the spiderSprite number to the appropriate number. what you are trying to do is not the most simple thing. I strongly urge you to read the manual and look at some sample programs. perhaps go to the www.mediamacros.com site download some code samples. based on the code you posted, you need to spend some time getting the fundamentals own. be sure to also read about behaviors.

lingo-l Lingo Cowboys (was timer)
Can you imagine, trying to reconcile a totally OOP approach with a linear score? The brain hurts just thinking about it :) rant sorry, but I just don't agree with this. coding-wise I use a very OOP approach to things. however, many times it makes absolutely no sense to approach some animated portion of a project in a single frame OOP Lingo-controlled manner. unless of course you just want to rack up the billable hours. what I mean is, use the right approach for a given job. Director does a pretty good job at playing linear animations, use it for that when it is appropriate. it also does a moderately good job at the OOP encapsulated code thing. use that when appropriate. appropriate is the operative word here. I do a lot of work fixing and enhancing projects done by others. it's probably 40% of my business. I see way too many ones done by "Lingo Cowboys" who insist on doing everything in 1 frame and OOP code. it's is generally overly complex way hard to work on.

RE: lingo-l Writing RTF and HTML files?
If you stored them as HEX then you could write them out as text files and not have to worry about any binary files. But if you are familiar with binary then that would also work. In general, if you have the files as blobs of HEX or binary then yes your idea would work. Hi guys, If you need to read or write binary files then the BinaryIO Xtra from UpdateStage may be what you need. BinaryIO was designed to read, write and edit binary files on the Mac and the PC. As you know, Director's built-in FileIO Xtra was designed to work with text files. You cannot use it to successfully read binary files because data in the binary file will look like formatting characters to FileIO. BinaryIO contains many methods for reading and converting data values. These methods aid in creating or reading media files to conform to a file specification. BinaryIO can handle Mac, as well as PC files, with ease. There are several methods that enable Mac-specific operations, such as writing to the data or resource fork and setting Finder attributes.

LINGO FOLLOWS n NetErrorString me, errorCode case (errorCode) of "OK": return "OK" 0: return "OK" 4: return "Bad MOA Class" 5: return "Bad MOA Interface" 20: return "Internal error" 905: return "Bad URL" 4144: return "Failed network operation." 4145: return "Failed network operation." 4146: return "Connection could not be established with the remote host" 4147: return "Failed network operation." 4148: return "Failed network operation." 4149: return "Data supplied by the server was in an unexpected format" 4150: return "Unexpected early closing of connection" 4151: return "Failed network operation." 4152: return "Failed network operation." 4153: return "Failed network operation." 4154: return "Operation could not be completed due to timeout" 4155: return "Not enough memory available to complete the transaction" 4156: return "Protocol reply to request indicates an error in the reply" 4157: return "Transaction failed to be authenticated" 4159: return "Invalid URL" 4160: return "Failed network operation." 4161: return "Failed network operation." 4162: return "Failed network operation." 4163: return "Failed network operation." 4164: return "Could not create a socket" 4165: return"Requested Object could not be found (URL may be incorrect)" 4166: return "Generic proxy failure" 4167 : return "Transfer was intentionally interrupted by client" 4168: return "Failed network operation." 4242: return "Download stopped by netAbort(url)" 4836: return "Download stopped for an unknown reason." otherwise return "unknown error" end case end 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 Neterror text?
Thanks Al; I just thought there'd be a built in thing rather than typing out all that...but at least you did it FOR me! you're welcome. you're right that it would be nice if there was a verbose setting for the error codes tho. cheers, 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 diplay of html in projector
nik wrote: I am part of team putting together a Kiosk (including touchscreen) for the postoffice and am wondering how to best display html on stage. top and bottom of the stage aill be navigation bars done in flash, inbetween web xtra sprite dsiplaying styled xml. That seems to work fine on most occasions. Problem: On some screens use a virtual keyboard done in flash that pops up frm th bottom nav bar. this is used to populate forms in the html displyed by the web xtra - or so we hope. we cannot seem to be able to send events from the flash keyboard to the html page with the form fields. does any one have any ideas or experience with this? i am currently exporing some hunches regarding MasterApp? I don't know why you are architecting this mixing HTML, Flash Director but I personally would not do it that way. do the whole thing in Director or at least Shockwave. if you want to use cute Flash stuff do so, but do all the keyboard input stuff in Director. forget trying to communicate reliably between Flash HTML. once you have the input in the form you built in Director, this is a piece of cake since the user can just type into fields on the stage, then collect it all up ans just send it to your CGI script on your server. there is an article on DOUG about sending stuff to CGI scripts on the server. search for CGI.

RE: lingo-l fileIO headaches woes
is fileIO not allowed in movies over the net? if so, is it simple to find an alternative? no fileIO is not allowed in Shockwave and no there is no alternative. if you need to save something like user preferences than you can do it using getPref and setPref. you could store data on a server as well usinv CGI calls. that's about it.

RE: lingo-l Re: fileIO headaches woes
i think maybe cgi calls are more what im looking for. i dont need to store any information on the user computer; i just need to read write txt from to the server. how would i go about implementing cgi in a shockwave movie? go here http://www.director-online.com/ search on CGI. there are 4 articles that will help you get started. good luck 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."
