Re: lingo-l Imaging Lingo 2 response1
Sorry for my slow response, but I'm on holiday and I try to keep away from my laptop ;) Allow me to mangle in again, You assign the image of your cast members to a var - this does NOT create a reference to the member - so this does NOT manipulate the member in question in any way. All you have to do is reassign the data to the image of the member you want to change when you have completed your manipulation. You could also directly manipulate the image without intermediate variable - but it is best to do the former if you do a lot of stuff because vars are faster. This way you can also control when the image is updated. So - after your changes - simply do this: member(mnum1).image = mnum1 One last remark; try to use more descriptive names for your vars - and use seperate vars for like for instance your membernums and your images. That way you can use them later on.

RE: lingo-l Controlling Flash Buttons?
Carl,
Why do it in lingo??
You could also set a toggle variable in your flash movie, check from
within and set your button accordingly.
You can then use getURL(lingo:) to set a var in director so that you'd
know wether it has been clicked or not.
//Make a movie clip, and use 2 frames, the first one an upstate (= button -
with overstate) and on the second frame a depressed state, then attach this
to your movie clip
onClipEvent (mouseUp)
{
if (depressed = 0)
{
depressed = 1;
this.gotoAndStop(2);
} else //dont know if you want to toggle
{
depressed = 0;
this.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}

Subject: lingo-l Controlling Flash Buttons?
Dear List,
In D8. Cross-platform.
I have some .SWF members that are Flash buttons. Can I control them from
Lingo?
What I'd like to do is make it stick in the 'down' state when clicked.
I can play with the buttonsenabled property, and that's a start, but
setting the .frame doesn't finish the job, and nothing else seems
applicable.
Is this possible? Have I missed something? Or should I just have them as
straight Flash animations that I _can_ control with Lingo? I bet it's no
harder than trying to mess with the buttons on the fly.

lingo-l a faster way to draw than using setpixel ??
Hi all, I've made me a mandelbrot fractal generator in lingo. I use setpixel, a 320 by 200 points stage, and an 8 bit palette. I do the setPixel ops on a variable wich i have initialised as an image. However a mandelbrot with scale set to 0.02 wich fits the 320x200 image takes 30 secs to render. I'm doing this on a mac G4 450 with 512 Mb RAM. Is there a faster way to plot an image than using setpixel?? Is there a line execution speed difference between movie and stage scripts? which one is faster - a*a or power (a,2) ? (In c it's the latter, but I am not so sure about lingo.)

RE: lingo-l How many global variables are too many
Hello Gene, Depends on what you put in them. In theory the use of global vars is only limited by system memory. You should really consider using V12. It's a great tool in managing large projects plus it gives you the advantage that you can change your content very fast. We use it all the time - e.g. for projects that need to be converted to other languages. Learning V12 ain't that hard - the code looks a bit like SQL and other DB acces prog. langs. Plus there's enough sample material on the website that can be easily used to make your project work. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gene Fritzinger Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2001 2:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: lingo-l How many global variables are too many Hello List, I'm creating a simulated version of a software package for use in a CBT.

I will also be copying a Cast to user's hard drive to save selections and other field members. My question is, is 100 (or so) global variables too many?

RE: lingo-l Can I program a MIAW to control the cursor?
It makes a lot of sense, but I'm afraid I have to reply with I don't think so. Since you cannot set properties like the mouseLoc - I don't see how. I think faking the cursor and a lot of extra handlers is the only alternative - but who am I to say so. Unless you write a VB proggie or something to control the cursor externally. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gene Fritzinger Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2001 3:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: lingo-l Can I program a MIAW to control the cursor? Thanks Chris, But can this sprite simulate mouse clicks and other mouse functions. So all I have to do is program the cusor. A simple example would be moving a cursor over a button with a roll-over behavior attached to it. If I can just control the cursor by moving it over a button, the roll-over will occur on it's own. As opposed to having to program the movement of an artificial cursor, then program the roll-over. That example isn't that much extra coding, but what if I want to simulate moving the cursor up to the FILE menu, clicking on it to open the menu, scrolling down the menu items while the various menu items become hilited, then selecting a menu item which in most cases opens another MIAW. Again, if I can just control the cursor, all those functions will occur on their own, as opposed to having to program in all of those functions. Does this make sense?

RE: lingo-l passing an array (AKA list) to a flash 5 member
Oops... It ain't quite solved yet. It seems the whole thing is being passed as a string, not an array. When i get the array from flash in director, it looks OK, but it doesn't quite work. Is it even possible? I initialize the array in flash with four values, to make sure. When I do a getVariable, I get the following: put getVariable (sprite(8),resultArray) -- one,two,three,four - these are all strings (for clarity's sake) When I play the flash member in director, it displays the values in the array. When I change them with setVariable, I get the following : setVariable (sprite(8),resultArray,three,two,one,zero) put getVariable (sprite(8),resultArray) -- three,two,one,zero Though the output appears to be identical, when I play it, it won't display the values. I've set a getURL in flash with the lingo: thing that sends the value of the array in flash to the put command so it displays in the message window. This is the output : sprite(8).play() -- Void Void Void Void WTH??? Why ain't this working??? PS : When I pass more elements, the number of Void 's increases to a match. So apparently flash knows it's supposed to be an array - but still it doesn't work. Does anyone have experience with this??? Please please help. TIA.
