Image white space on import

Hi, I am using D8.5 to import several images at run time. The images are specified in an XML file, that the user has created using another program - so I have no control over what pictures they are using. I have a problem that if the user has specified a picture that has a white background, d

I'm not sure what Florian's points were, but I run XP with 2 completely different graphics cards, an AGP Geforce 440 MX with 256Mb on board ram, for my primary monitor. I then have a Matrox Millennium PCI card that handles a further 4 screens. and I never have problems with any of them, I can

Hi Guys, I have a projector that allows a user to make a play list of video files that they can select on their system (Windows Me/200/XP) and then play them in order. I can check the system to get a list of the installed codecs, but does anybody know of a way to obtain the codec information fr

Flash Asset within Director 8.5

Hi, Not quite sure if this is really the right list, but it is affecting my lingo, so here goes. I have director 8.5 and I'm trying to use a Flash 7 / MX file within it, it doesn't seem to want to show the file. If there an updated flash asset Xtra for 8.5 that will play more recent versions

Yes, but the application I'm making allows users to select a different flash movie to replace it I don't really want to limit it to only versions 5 or lower. -Original Message- From: Colin Holgate [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12 July 2004 17:49 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Flas

RE: Flash Asset within Director 8.5

;t believe you can use flash6 exported swfs in anything less than DirMX and likewise for flash7 exported swfs in anything less than DirMX2004. Any reason that a director upgrade is not desiriable if that gives you the flash functionality you are looking for? ~Mathew Tim Welford wrote: >

check for lingo list index existence

Hi, I am using the XMLParser Xtra within a director 8.5 movie, and I'm outputting the parsed XML to a lingo list with the makeList command. This produces large multi dimensional lists that I have to work with, it's a pain to bug fix, but that's not the current issue. Although I will always be 99

Without trying to sound patronising, it sounds like the field has had editable set to false, can you see the text cursor in the field when you click on it? Can you select the text by any other method, e.g. by using shift with the cursors? -Original Message- From: Michael von Aichberger [m

RE: locH limits

I'm not sure about a limit on the LocH, but it seems like a huge waste of resources to be moving sprites that are so far off the viewable area. I would recommend keeping a list of the spites and the order they need to be shown in, keep them no more than -+ 500 pixels off the side of the stage and

RE: filextra FileRunApp & ms office : problems with spaces in file paths

Hi, I found this problem as well, even using Buddy api. To solve it (at least in buddy) I found that if you take the path to the file you are opening e.g. "C:\my docs\afile.doc" and make it QUOTE & "C:\my docs\afile.doc" & QUOTE it will probably work. I think the reason is that when MS ap
