Pretty sure it's related to the windows language/regional settings. Bug

Hi,
I've got a bug report that I'm trying to track down where a shockwave
movie that works well otherwise will generate a script error and then a
C++ runtime error when played back on a Czech version of windows with
system locale and default language set to Czech. No user input other

What paths are actually generated on the win98 box? That's going to be
your best clue as to what is failing.
Does "getOsDirectory()" return the same path format in both cases?

The "waitForCuePoint" is indeed your problem. It pretty much locks up
director while it waits for the audio. I practically never use the
tempo channel stuff unless I'm in a serious rush because of this.

Not directly, but you can easily delete and rename.
Something like:
On renameProp symOldName, symNewName, lspPropList
If findPos(lspPropList,symOldName) <> VOID then
flxValue = getProp(lspPropList, symOldName)
delet
I haven't had a problem with director itself using network paths (ie.
//someserver/file.txt), but not so with fileIO. Whenever my network
tools uses fileIO functions I need to work with files on a mapped drive.
If you don't need to write to the text file then you might try using
"getNetText" or
Hi,
I think you should familiarize yourself with Movies in a Window (MIAW).
They let a single projector have multiple windows operating
simultaneously.
There are very few situations where multiple projectors on the same cpu
are a good idea. Unless there is some special circumstances a single

Actually, I wouldn't expect deleting an instance using list operations (ie.
deleteOne) would cause any problems with only one object in the script
instance list either. My understanding of the problem is that deletion
confuses the list index so that subsequent items in the list may be skipped
on
I don't think that having objects deleting themselves from their own
scriptinstancelist is good, I seem to recall that although the actorlist is
tolerant of this (ie. adjusts for deletions of objects in the list during
stepframe processing), the scriptinstancelist is not.
What I do is have handle
I don't believe so, and if it is it shouldn't be. Shockwave movies
empowered to read/write to the registry would be a security disaster.

Because the cast file saves a fully uncompressed version of the .jpg. When
it gets compiled to a .cct or a .dcr it regains it's former compression.
Can make for some huge source files though.

Try putting a sprite on the bottom channel of your MIAW movie which contains
a hollow rectangle shape sized to the MIAW. On this sprite add a behavior
to catch the events:
on mouseEnter me
nothing
end
on mouseLeave me
nothing
end
etc

Nope. In lingo if you can reference a property/method you can access it from

Yes.
Get some form of source control software, predictably we use Visual Source
Safe. Developers check out files they are working on and then check them
back in when they are done, and regularly refresh all their files to pick up
changes made by team mates. Essentially the same approach used by C
Your message got through the first time.
The tempo setting is actually the maximum framerate allowed in your project,
but if the cpu can't get all the stuff you are asking it to do in time it's
gonna go slower. It takes time to execute code, display images, move
sprites, etc...

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.

Hi,
Kurt, their is a new "handlers" function in d8 which should help you do this
more efficiently. Just try executing this line in one of your objects and
see what you get:
put me.handlers()
Makes it very easy to interrogate any object as to what handlers it has
available.

You need to make a calculation based upon the rect of the vectorShape
sprite.
Here, pntToconvert is a point in the vertex list of a vector shape member,
prctDisplayArea is the rect of the vector shape sprite. It returns the
equivalent point on the stage.
on vpntPointToStage pntToConvert
