Please help!
I'm trying to do a cross platform CD-ROM, is there a way I could make a Stub projector
from a mac and one from a PC, but... both use the same dxr. files? And do I need to
make two Inf. and INI. files for this project? For anyone of the masters of this
program.
Thank You in adva

Take a look at our DirectControl Xtra.
DirectControl Xtra is a cross platform, easy to use Scripting Xtra for

I also talked to 3D Groove at UCON and understood they'd be selling the

Ok... So I still haven't the foggiest idea why it happened, but I juggled
around some cast members, and it's solved.
I didn't use any special Xtras or external files, didn't control any cast

Lisa,
I found that soundForge 4.5 and SoundForge xp 4.5 does the trick. This is what you do.
When you import a sound file like aif or wav into Director, you first must set the editors to be SoundForge for the IBM or SoundEdit for the Mac. When you open that sound cast file in the chosen sound
I had talked to Chis at 3dgroove at the last UCON -- thought their xtra
was great, has an editor/texturer all its ownat the time they WERE
going to sell it for other developers, and not for a whole lot of cash
either. I guess they decided to keep it close to their chest instead.

I completely agree. I always use xtras and behaviors as an entry point.

Are you using repeat loops in your various behaviors? Although this is
going to overwhelm you, you might try a trace to see if you have a lot of

Hi,
My guess is I think you are trying to change the sprites' member in the
beginning which is not loaded yet. Try preloading the whole movie or the
member itself before you change the sprite's member.
