Yeah I did a little work with it last year, sending sysEx messages between
Director and Opcode Max, didn't get too far but definitely managed to open
up a communication channel. What do you need to know? I have the files
archived and could dig them out if you need, don't know how much use they

Sorry Sabine this has been sitting in my outbox for the last

it is not direct-to-stage. Maybe you might want to look at quicktime

Hey Minty,
Yes, I concur, this is happening in SW/PC/IE, haven't tested
it in any other environment. Don't know if you saw Colin Holgate's
related post, here's the salient section:

Aaah, is there indeed, well that goes some way to explaining
some of the problems I've been experiencing with flash in director.
Is there a bug report somewhere for the flash asset xtra?
Been having problems today, though probably not to do with the
xtra, with having flash content and quicktime
A follow-up to this post of yesterday, I have tracked down the
source of the error, and what a strange one it is! It seems that
if you try to move a flash sprite with lingo: sprite(n).loc =
point(x,y) the flash sprite loses it's ability to understand
actionscript.
So when I bring the sprite ont

moments.
On a tangetial note, are there any signs that MM are ever going
to release a flash 5 xtra, it can't come soon enough for me.

Hi Alessandra
First have a look at director's online help dictionary under
'flash' which gives all the flash related lingo commands. The
one you're looking for is 'gotoFrame' which has the syntax:
sprite(whichFlashSprite).goToFrame(frameNumber)
or
goToFrame(sprite whichFlashSprite, frameNumber)
t the case maybe you could post a snippet of the code you
are using and someone should be able to help you further. It also helps
to include the version of Director you are using and the operating
system you are running.

Hi Rob
Very clever, and also quite appropriate for my current project as I
explicitly want the object to be destroyed when I leave the movie.
Thanks Rob and Mark for your insights. The project was getting very
messy yesterday and I have tidied it up by using a manager manager,

Hi Luke,
The funny thing is I'm sure this is the first thing I tried and it
didn't work but now it's fine. Maybe I should try the first thing last

m, so how would I be able to have the 2 sorts of timeOut in one
movie? Back to the drawing board... some kind of encapsulation I guess

Hello all
Why can't I initialise a timeout object in a new object handler? Here's
my script (called from a startMovie handler):
on new me
pSpeechList = [:]
pTimeOutSpeechList = []
pTimeOutMode = 0
interval = timeOut("textTO").new(3000, #tPause ,me)
append the actorlist me
return me
Hi Dennis
I did something like this last year. As I recall BuddyAPI was at the
heart of checking for CD and propmpting the user to swap CD's etc. As
far as I could work out the *only* way to successfully do this was to
have the projector running from the hard disk, which meant using an
installer
says anything, yes, I have contacted their tech support -
awaiting an answer :¬|

Thanks for the info Rob,
Yes in fact I was using it on all 26 chars + 10 numbers + various other
keys so it was a bit of a pain. But such are the joys of working at the
cutting edge!!
My other current gripe about D8(Win) is this window focus issue which
means that e.g. the message window does no
OK tell me if I'm insane... I've just rewritten that behaviour, it's
identical *to the letter*, it works fine, here it is again:

end
on getPropertyDescriptionList me
gpdl = [:]
addProp gpdl, #pChar, [#forma
Hmmm, anyone recognise this:
Script error: Incorrect behaviour initializer. (Periods are not allowed
in symbols)
[:"w"]
Here is my behaviour:
global typeMngr
property spriteNum
property pChar
on mouseDown me
put pChar
end
on getPropertyDescriptionList me
gpdl = [:]
addProp gpdl,
...
pAddressBook[aGroup].addProp(aSpriteRef, [1])
did it for me.
Thanks very much

only thought is to use integers rather than symbols for my group names
but that doesn't seem very elegant to me although it would undoubtedly
work. Any ideas?
Hope this makes sense to someone.cheers
