tell when importFileInto is done?

Hi list! For a simple slide show application I am using very large images (4096 x 768). I am using two cast members. When cast member A is displaying a slide, I use importFileInto to import the next slide into cast member B. And vice versa. My problem: Even though the images are on the local har

Re: tell when importFileInto is done?

Hi Michael, If the files are external, you could try changing the filename of the member...would be quick and easy as long as the folder containing the images can stay relative to the projector. Or are you looking at importing the files into the cast and then saving it? ~Mathew - Original Me

buddyAPI's baDisableScreenSaver

Hi all... Anyone ever use buddyAPI's baDisableScreenSaver before? I have an 11 minute self running demo CD being deployed to machines in house that are very locked down. It would be nice to avoid the screen saver turning on as they are watching it. So, can I rely on this method, or would/could

getNetText can't do ports as in this url port 14, as far as I know. best regards Daniel Plaenitz Thanks Daniel for the input. Is there a lingo or xtra based solution that will do ports? The application I'm working on is projector based, running off the user's harddrive. I appreciate the h

Re: tell when importFileInto is done?

Hi Michael, Check out: member(whichCastMember).loaded I'm curious though why are you using importFileInto instead of simply changing the filename of a linked cast member? I have tested the two for speed but my gut tells me that swapping the filename will be faster... don't ask me why just a fe

Hi Kerry and Mathew and Rob! Thanks for your suggestions. Setting the filename property works for me. I have done this before, in fact this is how I normally do it. I wanted to use importFileInto this time, because I wanted to avoid having externally linked cast members in my projector. I don't

Thanks Daniel. I had not considered the xtra way yet, but it seems that it might work. I'll give it a shot. Buying the xtra is not a problem. Thanks again. Regards, Mayuresh - Original Message - From: "Daniel Nelson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, June 16, 2003

Re: AW: tell when importFileInto is done?

Hey Michael, Why don't you use a little script to do that resetting for you. That way you don't have to go back to a version before... off the top of my head something like this should work global gMembersToResetList on prepareMovie gMemberMembersToResetList = [theMember : theFileName,

This isn't really a Lingo topic, but since it's pretty quiet... I agree, except that I'm not all that happy with Infogrames. my son brought home an Infogrames CD (published under the auspices of Nickelodeon) that his grandmother got for him when he was visiting them. It wouldn't run on their

Hi Rob, I don't want to reset the member to any file name, but to "no" filename. Because, when the movie starts, this member should not be externally linked at all. So what do you do suggest for how to reset in this case? thx Michael -Ursprungliche Nachricht- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ma

Re: AW: AW: tell when importFileInto is done?

Hi Michael, Sorry I misunderstood. Try this instead... Create your dummy cast members as 1 pixel bitmaps (you need some kind of image in there because this will be making use of the "media" property, I only say this cause you can create a dummy member simply by opening a paint window giving it

Sure, we've written similar Xtras with QT. If you're just "wondering" about it, then the answer is yes. If you're actually interested in something like that, write me off-list. - Tab At 09:30 PM 6/16/03, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm just curious, and would like to bounce the idea off of some
