Re: It's nothing, really

Xtras extend Director's functionality. Just like plugins for 3D programs, imaging programs etc... Simply put the developers - ie. Macromedia - cannot do everything. Xtras make it so they - and 3rd party developers can make Director a better product. 1. You can make a simple message box with Direct

Re: destruction of objects

Along the same lines, if I have placed an instance of an object into a global variable, does it destroy the object when you zero that global out? The object is destroyed when there are no references to it. Or, more specifically, Director will reclaim the memory when it does a garbage collecti

Hi Lewis, To just open a browser, check out the gotoNetPage method. Are you planning on using the browser to import an image into director? Well, there should be an easier way w/ the the importFileInto method -- from my handy dir8 black book, importfileinto imports new media from an external f

Help me save Director!!

Hello, I have a large CD-ROM project to do and I'm trying to convince my colleges to produce the CD-ROM in Director. They are flash people so they of course want to produce the CD in flash. Can anyone give me some good reasons (AMMO) to bring to my next meeting so that we can produce this project

Re: Help me save Director!!

What are common pitfalls of doing the project in flash? What are common pitfalls of doing the project in director? I've done CD-ROMs in both. It depends on what you're trying to do. Flash is good for animated visual based presentations. Director is better for interacting with the users compu

oh man, you expect me to *think* before replying? jeeze ...the high standards on this list :) uhh...Lewis, how much flexibility do you have on the interface? the only way i know of opening a "file open" dialog box in a browser (even after some looking around) is to use the pre-built html input

Re: Help me save Director!!

This may be a rant It certainly was, but it sounded pretty accurate to me. If you want to do any interaction with the users computer Director is light-years beyond Flash. I believe it was during the release of the Flash 5 player beta that some external file and application commands were disc

RE: Flash Capabilities Within Dir.

Yes.. both loadmovie and loadMovieNum work fine in flash while running inside of Director. The only flash commands you might need to be a little cautious with are the getURL .. as it gets redirected to Director vs out to the web and perhaps loadvars but I haven't played with that myself. If your us

Irv, Thank you for your response on releasing objects... among other things. It was the first six chapters of your on-line book that gave me the clarity I needed to truly start using OOP in the titles I'm authoring. Also, your article on data cast members was the core of a custom reference arch

Writing sound members

This is a matter of curiosity right now. In the past, I've used Glen Picher's BinIO Xtra to read and write external .aif files and have since been intrigued by the idea of using lingo to create or modify a sound member directly in the cast. Possible? Where would I start? Is there an Xtra? -
