Hi,
Jpg's are stored in an expanded format in .cst and .dir files. I have some
huge source cast files because of this. When you compile your files into
projector/dcr/cct files they should return to their original compressed
size, and maybe a bit better when you throw in shockwave compression.

Is there any way other than changing the bit depth of an image to decrease
it's size in Director? I have d7 and several images that are about 2 Mb
jpgs, when I import them to dir the palette they use is 16 bit but the
image size is now 4 mb. Can anyone offer any advice or help.
Thanks,
Brad
Reply to: RE: Transitions
Are you sure it's not just a strips transition that is set to 'changing area only' and
there is only a very small changing area. On a faster machine it might actually be
doing the correct transition , but so fast that it looks like a wipe.

Two things:
-To catch key-events, the stage must be the window in focus. This is
easy to overlook in the authoring environment.
-The number of keys detectable simultaneously, is dependant on the
specific hardware. It can vary from one keyboard to another. The
modifier keys all work simultaneo

Have you tried charToNum and numToChar?
you won't be able to remove the " so it will

Why do you need the quotes removed anyway?
A string is a string is a string.
If you're looking to extract a variable name,
meaning turing "mystring" into mystring, then
use value.

Hi all!
I was just wondering if there is an Xtra out there that allows director to
do a batch export of audio cast members. Here is the situation: We have
director movies that time out to audio files that are listed in numerical
order (001, 002, 003...). These audio files may be cut up from the

Hi,
If you know the corresponding name, number or reference of the member that
is supposed to contain the Graphic, you can use the type property of the
member (eg: member("logo").type or the type of member("logo")). The type
should be #picture or #bitmap depending on the format of your graphic.

Search through each member in the castLib by name, checking for the one

If the two modules are run during the same session, global variables
persist across modules. I have also used one or two field cast members
in an external cast to temporarily store information that was later
