Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help, I am building a training movie which is run from a CD , however I was wondering is there any way that I can have the user make notes while the Movies are playing and later refer to them from within the movie environment. I was thinking of some sort of text file that is saved on the users hard drive and is available for reading and amending whenever the movie is playing. This would be an alternative to the user making hardcopy notes. Hi Leah, many thanks for your quick response to my question. You are of course correct about the Prefs item but the only example I can find using this is not very user friendly, that is to say the adding of files is too scrappy and a bit hit or miss. I have tried to find another example but to no avail. I have however found an example using FileIO at the Macromedia website which looks and feels more the way I want but unfortunately the text file is stored in the same directory as the movie which is no good as the movies are running from CD. The line causing me grief is filePath = the moviePath My Notes is there anyway that I can save the file to a folder outside of the movie on the users hard drive. Also if anyone has an example of this and could either email me or point me in the direction of an example I would be eternally grateful, ideally I would like a box where text can be entered or deleted with a simple open and close dialogue box. I am a bit of an idiot when it comes to this kind of thing and unless I can see the thing working I find it really hard to grasp so a quick explanation goes right over my head. When working I can then adapt things to suit me.

Ron, There are several ways to save data in a text file on any writeable drive. Look inty File IO Xtra that comes with Director, or a third party Xtra like FileXtra.

I amworking with the PDF Xtra on a project that involves a little search engine for the PDF files (ca 30). The search results are to be displayed in a small pop up window (miaw) but: after appearing briefly on top of my full screen main movie (the one that also displays the PDF files) it disappears into the backgrund behind the man movie as soon as the pdf is loaded by the pdf xtra. Normally pop up windows tend to stay in front of the main window and look like an inactive window, but with the pdf xtra they are pushed into the background. Can this be changed, or over-ridden somehow? Does anyone have any experience with that?

Hello all, I have done a project,which is basically a browser based multimedia presentation. It runs through the Internet Explorer only.It has a lot of videos and VO. Now the client wants autorun facility.If i give autorun and if the end user machine has Netscape as the default browser the videos do not run.Because Windows Media Player plugin for Netscape is not available. All Videos are mpegs. So now my problem is first i have to determine in which drive the end user's default browser exists then if it is Netscape then i have to given an alert.And if the default browser is Internet Explorer then the presentation will work normally. I used browerName() andgotoNetpage commands. They work fine because my machine has IE as the default browser.But i don't know about the end user's.So please help me. Any ideas or some code...

Natalia, I have had the same problem and I had to resort to putting the quicktime files in the same directory as the projector. It is a bit messy but worked. To be safe I also changed the path name in the cast member properties dialogue box to @theMovie.mov from its original path name so instead of the link reading c//my documents/myproject/theMovie.mov it just read @theMovie.mov. That seemed to do the trick. Good luck.

It would also help to know the platform and Director version. And, most of all, please put a subject on your posts--and make it meaningful.

Hi to all I'm quite new in lingo and I have a ,probably for you all, simple question. I have a main movie and a miaw that share the same external cast. The problem is that this cast is very big and when I open the miaw the first time it takes a lot for loading that cast. The other problem is that when I change the color of some word, in the miaw it works and in the main movie it doesn't. I was wonderingif there is the possibility of managing the cast without having to include it in the dir file. I have done a test but the castmember seem to be manageable only if I insert the cast in the MIAW. I'm using Director 7. For changing the color of text i use this lingo : On change_color Member, NumWord member(Member).word[NumWord].color = rgb(225, 0, 0) member(Member).word[NumWord].fontStyle = [#bold] End Change Someone could help me.

I'm also a huge Lingo/Director fan and am not elated about the idea of eventually having to go to Flash/ActionScript. I do have some other tools in my kit so with some luck I'll never be out of a job. the good thing is that the better you know one language the more you can talk another, if you know what i mean. javascript, lingo and actionscripting while not the same are similar enough for someoen who knwos one to pick up tthe other two in a very short time. and doing director work nowadays - i find anyways - means to talk to the flash and javascript guys constantly anyways (with all the embedded shockwave and flash etc) As my drill sergeant used to say...SON...DISPLAY SOME ADAPTABILITY!! :-) Josie well said! ...whereas i'm from Toronto, Canada, and i have noticed a sharp downward trend in jobs that demand knowledge of Director and Lingo. at the same time, there is a steady rise in the number of people who are interested in such a career. i teach at a local design and technology college, partly because it's good experience, partly because it lets me use cutting edge technology, but mostly because i can't find studio work. i have worked for sae technolgy college london for quite some time as head of the multimedia department so i can relate very much to what you are saying about students, etc. and/but a lot of the colleges do miss the point slightly as they try to satisfy the need for students to learn a new piece of software without sufficiently making them aware that it may not be the 'right 'one fro all applications. the students are then too focused/polarised for their one good as i mentioned at the beginning of this email: yes. in fact, one of my fellow teachers keeps going on and on about how CD-ROMs (as a software platform) are *dead*, and how so many companies in Toronto haven't done a CD-ROM in years, and how it will be another 5 years at most before CD-ROMs (and DVD-ROMs) disappear completely, and the whole world turns into one great, giant spiderWeb. i don't think so actually. cd-roms may be succeeded by dvd-roms evenually (maybe not so far in the future, - but maybe i am too old to make qwuick rpedictions for this industry..?). one thing i do feel very strongly is that most clients/companies who have a cd-rom done in director hugely 'underuse' directors capabilities. (why only churn out a beefed up slide-show or put your web site onto a cd-rom if you have all the power of director at your disposal? -or is it that there are in fact too few people around who can use director properly and efficiently, and the ones who end up doing the cds would make a really good cd a long and expensive ventuer (by basically having to learn on the job [not that we all do that anyway..]). i haven't tried Director 8.5, because i'm wondering if it's worth it at all. shrug my thoughts are that i should skip it altogether and change my allegiance to Flash (which, by the way, i do NOT want to do). i think that the two things that will keep director afloat and going in the future are: the 3d thing and shockwave on one hand. director seems to be the only decent authoring tool for 3d on the web at the moment(is there any other comparable one?) and authrign for dvds. because of my past as an audio engineer i am naturally interested in any audio disk techhnolgy and thereforem currently looking into dvd-audio as well as -video) and it seems that with all the back catalogue the content providers have of music and film, there is a huge amount director could and should snap up! this may not be the most interesting work, but then again live is what you make it! honestly, though, unless someone can refute the five-year death of CD-ROMs, i'm seriously considering leaving this field. hey - stick with it! cheers nik! maybe i should go back to IT... there's *tonnes* of IT work in Toronto these days. :P cheers, parker [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: RE: lingo-l oops-here is the subject: DIRECTOR DEMAND
hi nik i from india and yes i may have to agree with you that there may be strong regional differences. In india i can say that we are still in nascent stages in director and you can find very few people who are good in director. yes there was a perceptable shift in the way director is used these days. the first difference came because of the web and its now getting importance as a software to create web based presentations and this led to developing applications like chat in director and also looking at connectivity to databases which makes me very much frightened hope one fine day i can also learn that sort of programming rgds sreedhar may i ask where you are based? there may be strong reginal differences? the decrease in demand i am talking about is not a landslide difference to what it was but a nevertheless perceptable shift away from cd-rom technology to technological environments that are more easily inclusive of networking and databases than director might be. cheers, nik.

RE: RE: lingo-l oops-here is the subject: DIRECTOR DEMAND (OT)
Folks... I'm also a huge Lingo/Director fan and am not elated about the idea of eventually having to go to Flash/ActionScript. I do have some other tools in my kit so with some luck I'll never be out of a job. But here's something I've used Lingo for that you may not have considered. Sure, I've done plenty of multimedia stuff...but Director/Lingo is a great Rapid Application Development tool, especially if you have a bunch of cool Xtras or can roll your own if required. I've built a number of general utility type software (some relatively ambitious) including some media production type software. Just one more way to mke use of your Lingo skills. Me, I know I said I'm not to keen on the idea of learning the Flash/ActionScript... but actually, I lied...I think I don't mind the changing world we live in.

Hi I do not know whether this will do it for you, but I'll quote myself as I originally sent my reply to nik offlist: QUOTE (Was not sure whether to respond personally or on-list... Went safe.) Yes. The multimedia Hype is definately over. Most Clients do not have the money to spare for using Multimedia as Eye candy, now that the functional sides of the web are finally taking form. Also I have locally (finland) been observing another trend. The companies are shifting their assets into the web, meaning, that if your company has intrest in continuing multimedia Development they should do so, because eventhough the general demand seems far less: 1# It is not (Comparatively it is, in absolute terms it is not) 2# The competition is fading Meaning, that any company with real intrest in making money with Multimedia definately can do so. Also, please bear in mind, that multimedia, or the proficiency to produce it is, in the end, not a technical ability, more a mindset. E.g. my long experience in creating multimedia enables me to create multimedia, no matter what the technology. More explicitly, A graphic artist who has learned Flash, will still be far less able to create multimedia then a 'multimedian' who learns Flash. Also another thing which I have come to learn since multimedia's honeymoon is over: You have to be cost efficient, and you have to be able to give features which you have previously dreaded to implement. That does not have to lessen the graphis shabang of any product, it just means that everyone needs to start considering things like limited Databases, mediadatabases. It means, that you can't allow yourself to be doing a whole new product every time and hand(/hard)code everything. /QUOTE [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.

Hi list Have a couple of problems really bugging me at the moment if anyone can help. 1. Is it possible to use lingo to control the keyboard cursor such as determine which field it is in and even which line of a field, or send it to the next field if it reaches a certain line number. I can only find info on the mouse cursor. 2. Is it possible to sort a property list by values rather than property. 3. I need help creating a routine that compares two scores from different lines of a field and stores the lowest value in a list along with its team name taken from the corresponding line of another field. So one field contains team names each repeated twice and no specific order while the other field contains all the scores. Sorry I have no example code but what I tried caused a fatal error and I lost it. Hope this is not too vague and someone can help.

There are three lingo handlers on the stage; 1) for the movement of an object which is attached to the mouse, 2) an object is moved across the bottom of the screen, 3) causes an object to fall (-y direction) from the object attached to handler #1.

Handler #2 is executed by a timer but I do not believe that to be the problem.

Trying to make use of Flash navigation because of the file size.
I have 2 flash buttons which opens 2 diferent miaws with Direct Media files.
My flash video controls buttons works fine.
The only problem I have is communicating back and forth from the Miaw to the
stage and viceversa.
Here are my scripts, maybe someone spots my mistakes:
global gWinbaa
global gWinliverpool
on preparemovie
gWinbaa=window("baa1")
gWinliverpool=window("liverpool")
put the windowList
end
global gWinbaa
on video1
gWinbaa.filename="baa1"
put the windowList
gWinbaa=window"baa1"
set offsetX = the left of the rect of the stage
set offsetY = the top of the rect of the stage
set myLeft = the left of sprite 12
set myTop = the top of sprite 12
set myRight = the right of sprite 12
set myBottom = the bottom of sprite 12
set the rect of gWinbaa= rect(offsetX + myLeft, offsetY + myTop, offsetX +
myRight, offsetY + myBottom)
gWinbaa.WindowType=member("winmask")
gWinbaa.open()
end
Now, my baa1 window opens fine, is maked by the bitmap but is not active. The
video is not playing, the buttons don't function. And very strange, if I take
gWinbaa.WindowType=member("winmask") out it works, so wathever kind of window
type I set it does not work.
Another issue is my "close window "button. Is a flash button with:
on release
getUrl:"lingo:tell the stage to forget window"baa1""
is working, but sometime, on some machines, it brings up the Windows Error:
"This program has performed an iligal operation and will shut down".
Also I want to make sure that if the frame number is= 20 or =15 all the
miaws are closed. A very strange thing the close command only sends my Miaws
to the back and it seems that if WindowActive is not working
I feel like giving up, spent ours online trying to work it out, but nothing.
Maybe I just don't understand the obvious.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot,
Nicolae

hi all,
another shcockwave question:
i am playing back shockwave audio files from within a shockwave movie. the swa files
are placed in the same folder as the shockwave movie itself. i am streaming the first
5 seconds of each of the 5 tracks into a buffer [e.g.: member("03 Demon
Speed").preLoadBuffer()]. this only seems to work fine on the pcs of our studio, but
produces a state 9 (error) on a mac.
is there any mac specific code that needs to be added, or is this a bug of some kind?
cheers

Hello lists,
Just as the team finished with the Evaluation Exam of our
project, the team was asked to edit this part. Instead of the user be
asked to select just one option from the list of solutions, the user have
to click the buttons for all correct answers. If one correct of the
corrects answers is not selected/clicked by the user, then that question
number is considered wrong. I know this is asking to much from you guys,
but please i hope you kind linguists can help us with this. Below is the
code that we have encoded in the program.( the scripts are from the sample
program of Gary Rosenzweig with minor changes and yours' Roy :-)

Hey Friends, Thanks for all your help in the past. I've got another one for you. I have a picture on my stage(a bitmap), and I have a circle. I want the circle to be a magnifying glass, so where ever I drag it, the picture looks bigger, but only in the circle. There you go, does anyone know how to make a working magnifying glass, that can be moved around in a movie. Again thanks for all your help. P.S.

They should all be in there, unless you used something specific to the Mac. Generally just open in pc and create the new one. If you had any custom or third-party Xtras for the Mac, you'd need to get the same ones for the PC. If you just used a basic graphics and such, you should be fine. - Tab At 01:56 AM 12/27/00 +, ratmin attar wrote: Do you know if I have to creat all the sprite and animations again for pc or I can just open it in pc and creat the new pojector?

Hi The dir file itself is crossplatform, its the executable that is OS specific. For instance, you will see requests from time to time from people looking for OS specific stubs (stub projectors) that can be used to theoretically launch the project. By using Stubs on both a PC and a Mac and designing your project to work with such, you can easily check crossplatform functionality without having to constantly recreate the executable.

The purpose for protecting them is to prevent others from doing exactly what you're asking - reverse engineering their project. I'm sure your clients wouldn't want their names associated with reverse engineering or piracy. You could try to contact the original author see if he will provide you with the original source files. If this happened within your own company then I hope it wasn't a great loss. Let it be a lesson in making multiple-version backups to prevent this from happening in the future. -- Mark A.

lingo-l Re: Opening D8 in D7 (was: no subject)
I have director 8 shockwave version at home, but at uni we only have director 7 educational version. Hmm... didn't we get this twice yesterday also? The answer, Fuzz, is that you can't get there from here. You cannot open Director 8 files in Director 7. Doesn't matter if it's the educational version. Sorry. By the way, it's nice if you put a descriptive topic on your e-mails. It helps us keep track of threads, and makes it more likely that you will get a response. In fact, some people have e-mail filters that automatically throw out anything without a topic, to filter out spam.

Subject: Re lingo-l avi to mpeg
Date: Sun, 03 Dec 2000 09:20:39 - From: "sundeep bhatia" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: lingo-l avi to mpeg hi list i want to convert my avi's to mpeg. i tried quicktime pro but every time i get the error "insufficient memory available", no matter how much space i create in my hard disk. do anybody know of a software or plugin which is free and downloadable from net that can convert my avi to mpeg and reduce the MBs to be used in my director project. i do not have any hardware support for creating mpegs et all. coz i have heard that u need mpeg card for this. but i beleive there must be some software through which u can create ur mpegs without any card etc. thanx in advance If you have QuickTime PRO you can use the Sorensen codec: 1. data rates are usually not higher than MPEG-1 for oproximately the same quality. 2. you can have other video sizes than 320x240 which is the standard MPEG-1 size. 3. using Quicktime in Director is easyer than MPEG-1 if you don't have money for and Xtra that you wil need to play MPEG-1. Think in terms of your end product before you decide on a video codec. Once a codec is used and you do not have the original video any more you can not re-code without severe los of quality.

My Original Message I'm looking for some feedback on the 'most' accurate consistant method of playing a click sound at a set tempo for a metronome style application. (2nd post - not sure the first made it) Thanks to all who helped me with the timing lingo a couple of weeks back. In particular, the advice from James Newton was very helpful. In summary, it seems that the best 'Non-xtra' way of accomplishing a reasonably accurate metronome style application is to use the milliseconds in a tight repeat loop. I have my application up and running and it is working very well. Check out the post from James under 'Timing and Sound' - Fri 03-Nov, if you want see more details.
