That pay is insulting. It's an entry level salary, especially considering
that it's part time. Maybe OK for the Carolinas but not for California.

These may be too roundabout, but,
1. Maybe code the sound in Flash inside of a movie clip that's set to
stream. So when the movie is paused the sound stops. I don't know by which
method you are making the Flash movie static, but just sending a command

I am using 3ds max 5. I just downloaded the 3ds max 4 exporter, (which is
said to work with max 5).
It works fine, textures and all, but the z axis orientation is messed up due
to Max's z axis being up and down.
So all models come out on their side.
I'm sure this is a common problem; what is

Hi,
you can rotate the mesh before exporting

Yeah I just found out that the ART version of Cinema 4D does support W3D
export for director. (Art version is about $595 or something close to that).
But, as mentioned before, no Havok export.

I am no expert about operating systems, but from what I have heard, XP is
not much of a significant improvement from 2000/NT in terms of performance.
I upgraded from ME which was very much needed, because, as even Microsoft
admits now, ME was garbage. XP runs on that same 2000/NT platform and

I have a tif image ( a soap bubble) with a transparent background that I

Thanks for your reply; it is very clear.
cloneModelFromCastMember() is definately what I want for this.
I am assuming that removing models from a world (instead of just setting
visibility to #none) when they are not needed will free up some RAM.
In terms of visibility, my set up is so

I am on the digest, so I don't know whether or not your question has been
answered. I made a Flash track and tried to pass variables into Director
with on GetUrl handler but the variables did not pass, which seems to
confirm what you have been told, at least thru THAT method.
However,
I have several 3D animation sequences that I can export either as a

This is all being packed inside of a Director Projector.
QT compression would be Sorensen 3 with a maximum 150 KB per second .
Which would be faster--

i got it. fyi, this works:

gConverter= value (# (ganimalname))--concatenates stuff
put getprop(ginventorylist[gturn], gConverter)--extracts value
that retrieves the value I want.

I made a Flash button that sends the following command to Director:

that works. but also, I need to set a global variable in the process. What's

Hello
This is something that seems fairly simple...but I'm not doing it right.
I am building a simple game where the user enters number of players which is

then a repeat loop is used to set up several things for each player,
depending on how many players there are.
