the sound which are playing in channels and save it or
export it from the projector ?

Not hard at all. If you can learn new Lingo commands, you can use Buddy. It
basically gives some much-needed extensions to Lingo.

I just had a look in the lingo dictionary and was surprised NOT to find 'the
commandLine', because it is a valid system property. Try it with a
projector. Or double-click a file to open it in director and ask for the
commandLine in the message window.
Unfortunately, your projector ini file is byp

Anyone know if you can pass information to Director as part of an exec call

In Flash, you can do is use a command (

You can use a 1-bit graphic as windowType, maybee that is what you are

set the windowType of lWindow to member "your window 1 bit graphic"

Aside from those two xtras, there are at least two more free xtras that do
the job: the mui xtra and the fielXtra/fielXtra3.

Hi Simon,
You can use director's framesToHMS() function.
In the following example, if the quicktime movie is of 60 seconds duration,
the function returns the value in hms format.

-- " 00:01:00.00 "

Create a 1bit bitmap cast member and set the window type of your MIAW to
the name of that member.
e.g.
gWin = window ("myDir.dir")
gWin.windowType = "my circular 1 bit bitmap member"
gWin.open()
Voila! We have a round window! :-)
