Returning to a previous project -- done in Director MX -- I was surprised to run into a code problem in Director MX 2004. This project used an MIAW for some interface and navigation controls. When the MIAW is opened, it's windowType is set to a 1-bit mask in the cast to create a non-rectangular window on the screen. It worked fine in the previous version, but now balks at the windowType property for the MIAW. What am I missing?
Surely, the ability to create non-rectangular MIAW windows has not been deleted from the feature set in Director.
actually it was never officially IN the feature set until 04
Curiously, windowType is still recognized as a keywork in the script window (shows a green color) and passes the compile test. The error dialog appears at runtime. If windowType is not a valid property anymore, does anyone know how attaching a mask to a window can be implemented in DMX 2004?
2 choices -
a) set the Lingo interpretation to pre-MX04 syntax (& don't use any new syntax) b) use the DMX04 MIAW methods to do the assignment (Display Template)
