A program I made once in Director 6.1 that runs with a projector, in
one in about 50 computers a customer on Windows XP, gets an error
message about needing 3 MB of virtual memory to run. Does any body

Lingo that detects the user's monitor size and re-sizes the Stage in
a projector to fit that monitor size - and if there is what that code might be?
The monitor size is given by the desktopRectList, and you can set the

If I have a cast of 1000 .wav sounds in a director cast and I want to
save each member as a .wav onto my computer somewhere as individual
files, is there an xtra to do this too?
You could use the Audio xtra and write a routine that uses

So gLanguage is the name of a cast member, but what would/does

#string (cast name) or #integer (cast index).

Is there a dot-syntax way of getting the year, month, and day? I can get
it by parsing _system.date(), but the year/month/day order depends on

Hi Buzz,
the systemDate returns a data object and 2 properties of all date objects
are .seconds .minutes
Unfortunately, (the systemDate).minutes throws an error for me. Has this
ever worked, or were you mis-remembering? It would be redundant anyway, as
minutes can be calculated from seconds.
If scrollTop = height - pageHeight then your text member is scrolled as far
as it will go.

Is Director, or a projector, supported on this version? For whatever reason
I seem to think not. Perhaps the docs or a TN or the release notes would

So why is it that the MACR docs don't explain where I can get those two
