I'm trying to have 2 video tracks in one movie, and let the user chose which track he wants to see at any moment of the playback. I've done a lot of that. The problem is that the new video track you switch to has to go back to its previous key frame, and build up the current frame, all the

You can reduce any problems a lot by pausing the movie while you do the switch, giving it some time to get its act together before playing it again, Unfortunatley it's not an option in this case. I'm not talking about a huge delay, just enough that the movie doesn't get jerky. Something

pasteClipboardInto pastes the text into (the member) itself, replacing the previous member. To avoid, you could either store the old name of the mamber and reuse it, like: pasteMem = member(2) oldName = pasteMem.name oldNr = pasteMem.memberNum member(oldNr).pasteClipBoardInto()

Guys, What quicktime compression format compresses each frame as an independant image, as opposed to using keyframes and a sort of incremental compression, where every image depends on the previous? Thank you. -A. [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to

Hey, nice thread! You could use the alpha channel (the fourth color channel) to embed data, if it's not being used for transparency. Not all img formats support alpha though. Eps, Png and Tiff do, but not jpeg. One advantage of doing this is that you could tell you customer to just paste you

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 Director. A good hacker can get into your global variables at runtime and set them to a hi score
