RE: lingo-l ALERT
I want to create an system-like prompt .. Something like lingo command alert(message) , but its only with OK button .. I need OK and Cancel. How to create in Director ? Is there any lingo command Hi Roman, Director comes with the MUI Dialog Xtra which will allow you to do this kind of thing. I have personally 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, on Direct-L, I posted a handler that makes creating the basic ones quite easy. You might search the archives for the code. Go to the archives here: http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/cgi-bin/search_digest.pl Search on: handling the window close box hospers There is also a complete downloadable document for this functionality here http://download.macromedia.com/pub/director/d7/win/mui.zip There are three articles on DOUG addressing this same issue. Go here: http://www.director-online.com/ 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 go here http://www.updatestage.com/xtras/muimaker.html.

Re: lingo-l ALERT
Hey - I want to create an system-like prompt .. Something like lingo command alert(message) , but its only with OK button .. I need OK and Cancel. How to create in Director ? Is there any lingo command You can do this within Director, but you'll need to learn how to use the MUI Xtra (which comes with Director). Two drawbacks: 1. You'll need to understand lingo well enough and be comfortable with figuring out the MUI xtra - documentation is plentiful on the Macromedia Director Support website. 2. It won't work in shockwave. Actually, you can probably find a tutorial on how to use it on the DOUG (director-online.com) website as well if I remember correctly.. Kendall.

RE: lingo-l ALERT
oops...sorry, of course you're right...DirectOS is from directXtras. The MUI Xtra (in my humble opinion) can be a bit difficult for a new Lingo programmer. The RavWare MUI Maker utility (if Al didn't mention it already) which *is* sold/distributed by updateStage makes using the MUI Xtra a whole bunch easier.

RE: lingo-l ALERT
Hi If you are like me and don't have any spare Buddy API functions (I have registered it at its first level which gives 7 functions but still keep hitting that barrier) then consider using MUI dialogs - they come free with Director and are very flexible. It takes a little setting up but simple Yes/No/Cancel type of dialogues are very simple with it. You can find information on using MUI dialog on the Macromedia Director support pages.
