Re: lingo-l What's the best way to try and make your movie play at the same speed across different speeds of computer?

What's the best way to try and make your movie play at the same speed across different speeds of computer? Best way? Always debatable. Colin wrote: If you're talking about an animation sequence, you could do something like this: on exitframe go label(first frame) + (the timer)*.5

Re: lingo-l elapsedTime oddity (or not?)

Still, I find some odd behavior there, too. Say I play a sound file, a .wav or .mp3 using either sound playFile or playing a sound cast member. I find that if I use sound(soundChannel).elapsedTime in an on exitFrame handler to get the amount of time the sound has been playing that the

Sorry Brad, I haven't got a solution to your problem, but if you're interested in using sprites as windows, you could try Jim Andrew's Windows for Shockwave. Try the site http://vispo.com/lingo/windows/. Regards, Pranav Negandhi snip Just a thought: Has anyone ever simply created a faux MIAW

lingo-l elapsedTime oddity (or not?)

A month or six weeks ago, I posted about having problems getting Director to consistently pick up cue points in .wav files right as they pass. Colin responded that he was using findPosNear() to get simulated cue points from a list. As I wrote at the time, this helped tremendously. Still, I

Re: lingo-l elapsedTime oddity (or not?)

Like SMPTE? I didn't realize that such things might affect how something like elapsedTime would work with Lingo. My sound editor, the able Cool Edit Pro, allows me to define SMPTE times and waveform time readouts related to frames, but there's nothing I can find that lets me see or define frame

lingo-l Imaging Lingo memory use seems excessive!

Hi there I have recently made an application that prints maps however the client is reporting that even on their machines with loads of RAM it is crashing due to memory problems. Here is my puedo code pMy_Image = image(3150,4050,32) pMy_Image.copyPixels(pSource_Image, vTarget_Rect,

Re: lingo-l Imaging Lingo memory use seems excessive!

No, it's not the Lingo, it's the image that's excessive. This is a 51 MEG image! And any copy of it will take another 51 megs! Any rendering or intermediate use may also make a copy. Size =width * height * 4 (bytes per pixel) At 03:01 AM 10/11/02, Paul Steven wrote: Hi there I have
