Hi Michael,
I want to create a shockwave movie, playing on the web, that creates an
image based on an image that the user can - if he wants to -
import from his
own harddisk. I know that shockwave cannot access the user's harddisk. Is
there ANY solution, maybe with the help of an Xtra to do
_When_ do you need to know if a member is used at a certain marker?
When the movies starts? or when you arrive at that marker?
If it's the former, please checkout Pranavn's reply. If it's the
latter, then put something like this in the frame script at every one
of you markers:
on beginSprite
Im thinking of encrypting my save game files that my forthcoming play by email game
will use, so that no one can cheat.
What xtras can I use for this? Free only please, or would I have to program the lingo
for such a routine myself?

Hi Michael,
Mediamacros makes a Safe Image Import Xtra that does what you need.
I've never actually played with it, but it should be pretty straight
forward. Check it out at:

Depending on how safe it needs to be, I think ExOR-ing a codeword
string with your file is pretty good safety/(amount of work) rate.
It is almost impossible to make a completely uncheatable game w

Well, they (crackers, *not* hackers) can get to your vars if you
leave them an open channel. Shockwave files can theoretically be

Hello friends.

Christopher,
What would be a simple example of input paramters for your call? And
what would you expect it to produce?
Two optimizations I can think of:
1) Assign a local variable to: psDelims.length
Assuming that psDelims is a character string of delimiters, then do this:

Does anyone know what font is used in the title bars of windows

it has the Director icon, then says, Director 8.5 in a white aliased font.
I need that font! Any ideas of the name and where I could find it?
