Thanks for this brilliant solution, its been bugging me for years and it
will save me so much time when I need to compile my app.
When you come to UK let me know and I'll buy you a beer...no..actualy I'll
execute the following handler:

on PedjaBuyingBooze
 repeat while anotherRound < the maxInteger
   anotherBeer()
   anotherRound = anotherRound + 1
 end repeat
End

Cheers mate

Pedja

Subject: Re: <lingo-l> Build Scripts (i.e. Publishing from a command
line)[Direct-L cross-post]


I got it, it's really possible to "publish from the commandline" with
DMX2004 and windows.

this is how:

1) create a little dir (e.g. 240 * 32 px) with the following frame-script on
frame 2 or later:

on exitFrame
  cl=the commandLine
  if cl.word[1] = "-p" then
    tell the stage
      go movie cl.word[2]
      dispatchCommand(4104)
      quit()
    end tell
  end if
end

mark this movie as "dockable" in the display template settings, save it
(e.g. as "publish.dir"), close director, put it in director's xtras folder,
restart director, open the movie (miaw xtra) and "dock" it to some
permanently visible panel.

done.

from now on, whenever you start director from the commandline (DOS box) with
a line like

Director.exe -p test.dir

director will popup, open test.dir, publish it (with the last choosen
publish settings) and quit again. if you open it normally (without the "-p"
switch) nothing has changed.

to optimize the publishing speed, you can also duplicate your director
folder, and in the duplicate folder which is only meant for commandline
publishing throw away everything that is not really needed, especially all
the authoring xtras. AFAIK the only xtra that is definetely required for
director to start is the Text Xtra, and of course you need the UIHelper.x32
xtra, plus the xtras that are needed for your movie (test.dir). In my test
such a "minimal director" opened, published and closed really fast.
