Macromedia wants people to know about all great features - no point having
a great feature if no one knows about them.
Occasionally an undocumented feature is one that is powerful but not safe
in the hands of people who don't know what to do with it. Nothing in Lingo
comes to mind that
More often, particularly in Lingo, they're just not ready for prime
time. In your example, a call fails under certain conditions.
Chances are that someone started to implement it, ran out of time,
or ran into insurmountable bugs, and the product (Director) was
released making no mention of
Hi,
I've poste about this before but didn't get any useful response so I'm
trying again.
The problem is quite straightforward, the solution... ?
Problem:
I open a MIAW with two sprites; one with a Quicktime-movie and one with
a Flahs-movie (all the flashsprite does is close the MIAW). I want
There's a more optimistic variation of this, and that is that the
feature was ready for use, but was added too close to the ship date
to get a full testing, and so couldn't be mentioned in case there
turned out to be a problem. There have been many examples of such
features, that all
Hi list...
I'm hoping a particular widget exists in the MUI xtra: a scrolling list
with a fixed height (not dropdown), where you can select multiple items.
If it's not in the xtra, would anyone have any suggestions for a decent
substitute?
Below is what I'm talking about in HTML.
Thanks, as

I need your help in solving the image size problem.

That happens too... no one wants to officially release it yet because it
was either tossed in at the last minute, or they didn't get it working
until the last minute, and it never really got tested and vetted.
And, occasionally, from other places I've been, I know developers have
their own pet
I haven't tried floodfill().. but it may be useful on a project I am starting. What
are the parameters(arguments) that it requires??

All,
A quick bit from my end on where undocumented features come from:
1. Something that was implemented but couldn't get to a stable
enough state (due to bugs) prior to shipping in order to get
official feature status.
2. Features that crept in late in the game and didn't recieve
I don't suppose anyone has a resource of all the current undocumented lingo. There
must be loads of cool things like this. I know Flash has a few also.

hi murali,
depending on your button behaviour imaging lingo might be the best choice, but
other than that i think the easiest way to have such a scrollable control panel
with buttons would be to implement it as a LDM (control.dir imported to main.dir
as link to external file, with option Enable
In that case
How can i detect in the main movie that the external movie which is imported
is fully downloaded, Is that check necessary.
If i use imaging lingo, how do i detect the button presence in the whole
image.
do i need to find out each and every button rect manually.
thank you

I wonder, what is undocumented Lingo?
Largely, it's stuff the programmers put in, but there wasn't sufficient time
personnel to test/fix it well enough to make it public. Often these features,
like rateshift, are documented in subsequent releases.
Then there are then [way too many]

Sorry, the problem isn't quite that straightforward. I read your post, but I
can't tell what is and isn't working. If you want to make the QT controls
disappear in a projector, try something like this (untested):

Murali, I hope you get it, but it won't be from me. This is the fifth time

i have not used ldms in shockwave yet, but i know it's possible, and if you have

in the imaging case, i'm sure there is a more elegant way to

Hello List,
I have a project where a film strip of images serves as the background.
When a user selects a menu item the filmstrip slides to that image. There
are 10 areas to choose from and 11 images in the filmstrip (an image for the
main menu). I currently have the film strip working as it

all your movies - that is, make all movies link to the same external
castlib file. Then move your
