Hi, Fabrice
That takes me back. If you find that CD, or check the Lingo source
in the text, you will see that the movement of the robot arm is done
with a repeat loop. Those were the days when you would animate in a
repeat loop just to get fast enough updates. Now, that same
animation would be
too fast to see.
If you find the Lingo for Director 5, Authorized CD, check to see if
there is the source file for that armSound. I have from D6 on, and
there was never any source for that sound since then. I'd love to
get my hands on the original.
I've got the book stashed & the CD is with it -
why do you need it?

Got this book right in fromt of me, nothing in the explained lingo

Got to have the compagnon cd somewhere, but if someone need the titel:
Lingo for Director 5, Authorized from macromedia.
The original script shown into the book was originally writen bij Pulse
entertainment and was designed for the Iron Helix game.
