Re: QTVR (Zoom +) , (Zoom -)

Anyone know how to control the move the viewport (while zoomed in) in lingo? Interactively, I believe you hold the alt key while dragging (or one of the modifier keys), but there doesn't appear to be a property for that in Director. On Tue, 19 Sep 2000, Ron Woodland wrote: > Of course you co

QTVR flashing

2000-09-17 Thread Brad Waite
Here's a code snippet: sprite(18).visible = 0 sprite(37).visible = 1 sprite(18).member = VOID 18 is a bitmap, 37 is my QTVR, and they show up in the same place on the stage. How can I keep the QTVR from flashing when it's turned on? When I do the opposite and display a bitmap, there's

Cursor wierdness

2000-09-05 Thread Brad Waite
We stumbled across this one tonight (or this morning if you wanna get picky). I'm swaping a sprite's member in lingo between bitmaps and a QTVR. If I only put bitmaps in, the cursor works fine, but as soon as the QTVR is swapped in, all the subsequent bitmaps have a text editing cursor on mouseo

Yep, figured it out. But I don't understand why one has to sort it when it's already sorted... Is there a 'sorted' flag somewhere in the member internals? Roy Pardi wrote: > > At 12:52 PM -0600 9/2/2000, Brad Waite wrote: > >Hi all, > > > >
